Cleaning oil off of new paint
Looking for some suggestions from everyone. We picked up our -8 from the paint shop about a month ago. I know the paint is still new and probably soft because it has been in the 30s all month, but a hammerhead the other day resulted in a ton of oil all the way down the belly of our airplane.
Wanted to know what I can use to clean all of this off the paint. Something safe for paint and clear coat and gentle enough to not harm a new paint job. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
-Matt

All is safe on new paint? Even mineral spirits?

Like Bob mentioned, call your painter. It depends on what paint they used. |

plain dawn detergent mixed with water will not hurt your new paint.
