yes your are right,,need special chemical to remove it lie retrobright or salon cleaner,witch uses the same stuff as retrobright i seperate my parts in boxes ,plastic bags and 35 mm canisters or pill boxes and label them mostly dont use a camera ,it takes time to set it up plus have no problem putting it back together without it i guess from, many many years of building and taking robots apart,it gets super easy for me
