[Help] i cant get the peanut oil off!!

point · #1 10-02-2006, 02:57 PM

last week i did a wax to my car and used the olive oil (peanut oil) to remove the rax on the plastics. However, I forgot to clean off the olive oils after. Now the thing is a little sticky and has this left over olive oil marks on my car. I tried using water and shampoo to clean it out but didnt work well. Any ideas on how to remove those oil after a week????

dish soap

Griot's PaintPrep

RC car motor spray

Rubbing Alcohol

Goo gone?

WD40?

Yeah, I've had awesome luck with WD40... it gets EVERYTHING off that I've come up across and never seems to hurt the paint.

Olive Oil? Since when did Olive oil become Peanut Oil?

I am misreading this?

I used orange clean and i soft head tooth brush or a soft head brush to get the wax off the black trim.

I find my two pack of dogs will lick off peanut oil in no time at all. It leaves the arches very clean and shiny

As for the arches, the whole idea is to leave it on. If you think you have to much then rub it with a rag to remove the excess.
If you mean you have some on your paint you can try to wipe it off with a paint-safe towel, but aside from that you need to use a grease-removing soap (dish soap, simple green, etc). Be aware the area will then have to be re-waxed.
