Title says it all. Car was being trailered behind a vehicle with a fuel leak. Raw diesel fuel coated every exterior surface of the car. What can be done for this? Thanks for your help

Yikes. Dont worry about it Try some diluted Meguiars APC+ or use Dawn Detergant full strength to Degrease. I would recomend Eimann Fabrik Hi-Intensity Cleaner but Its costly and would take alot of it to clean the whole car.This has happand more than once to someone on our forum. Besure to wash it off quick as it can stain plastic and rubber parts fairly quick to a brown haze. Hope this helps

Just wash it with a strong Dawn wash, you will be fine.

Use 303 Aerospace Cleaner.



From what I have read, the product was first used and was developed specifically during the time when there was a huge oil spill (at sea) somewhere in the world.
