Default Remove Grease from Exterior

Hello:

I noticed the other day that a glob of lubricating grease has plashed onto my passanger rear panel behind the wheel. I tried getting it off with a dry towel with no success.

I went through my fav carwash and no luck.

Of course I am hesitant to use any cleaning material until I am sure I won't do more harm then good.

Any ideas?

I doubt it's bad enough to risk using a bug and tar remover.

Try some warm soapy water and turn the towel often as you wash so the grease doesn't just smear. Use something a little stronger than car wash soap, like a dishwashing soap such as Dawn.

WD40? A stick of dynamite will get it off, too. But, you gotta ask yourself...

I usually just get a brush with hard bristles (Not to hard because it will scratch) and just brush it off using hot water and a sponge as well.

It's on his paint. Using a stiff bristled brush would be a mistake.

OH it's on the paint job??? WHOA Nevermind. I usually use a brush on the build up of tar right behind my tires(the place where a mud flap SHOULD be)
