Both using commercial soap as lube, and a plastic card as a gague seem like symptoms rather than the actual root of problems here. I have to assume the same time crunch that caused them to use quicker to acquire materials than what they ought to have used (and likely had stocked nearby) is what cut down on documenting these processes.
Documentation of what was actually done would certainly be another useful layer in the swiss-cheese safety model commercial aviation relies on.

I’m sure there’s a more appropriate way to put it other than dawn plus hotel card because that would not pass the approval process for my organization. > Clean with a general purpose soap and water with a firm applicator card, plastic or nylon spudger, or plastic spackle knife.
