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.

You can see some of the things I used in this thread and how the worked.

I general citrus for grease and dirt
Brake clean, red can. Green can will strip many paints.
Dawn industrial cleaner (grease) available on amazon.
I did not have a lot of undercoating to remove. I have soaked undercoated parts in Red brake clean with good success.
