[SunRescue] Cleaning up old Sun gear

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

Hello,

I don't actually own any Sun equipment, so I can't give specific details
to you.  I can yell you that most of my equipment gets cleaned with
Comet cleanser.  It is abrasive, so care must be taken.  I usually use a
rag or a brush to scrub with.  Be careful with brushes, because some
will scratch worse than the Comet ever would.

This normally requires disassembly of whatever you might be working on.
