Bill,

Turns out that Varsol is often available in 5 gallon drums and larger,  
and in a modest variety of different formulations.  Google will help  
here.

The favorite cleaning agent of two well known Collins restorers I know  
is 50-50 409 and  household ammonia.  Very strong, use outside. Wash  
with water.  Remove meters, dials and such, and plug up IF can holes  
first.  Dry with warmth or heat.

BUT, I recently read on one list that 409 has been changed not long  
ago, and is not as effective as it used to be.  Maybe one of the other  
cleaners suggested could be substituted for the 409 if it does not  
work out well.
