My car used to leak oil from lots of places. After rebuild, now everything's pretty
good. But, particularly from under the oil tank area, oil has got on a large area under the floor and longs. I found accidentally that the CRC Electronic Cleaner doesn't seem to remove paint, but it is so weak that the black undercoat (wurth?) turns into a huge amount of black goo that hasn't really come off the car. I want to save any paint and the white-ish undercoat. Any products that will do this? I assume my paint is the old lacquer type paint. Thanks Mark S. |

One of the oil removing citrus cleaners worked for me I’d use starting fluid before brake cleaner. Brake cleaner can effect some paints. Hopefully not the old stuff on a 914 |
