My two suggestions at first would be a clay bar, or wax and grease remover and a strong arm... Maybe post in the car care sponsors section asking what he would suggest..

is wax and grease remover like prepsol?

Hey mate clay bar will be your best bet

[Jonno]

youll be sanding the paint anyway?


try oven cleaner let it soak and rub it off.
dont leave it on for too long tho.

Yep that's it. I was gonna suggest that as a last resort too. You'll need some type of solvent though. Perhaps try just some metho first.

Be sure to give the area a good polish and wax when you're done.

seriously, if you want it off head to bunnings and go into the paint section and get a spray can called "goof off" Its insane stuff.. I'll put my house on the fact it will work...

prepsol will wipe it off like it was never there. damp rag, let the rag sit on it for about 5 or 6 deconds then wipe it off.

then drink a beer.

Beer is important, won't work without it.

Its true.. Read 99% of the how-to threads on here.. They all say 'Have a beer"

Kerosine its cheap, wont hurt the paint and it is soluble in water.
