    Motor Oil on Car Paint

    My brother just called me up and asked if I can help him with a problem. Apparently someone spilled motor oil all over his car. I told him to gently remove the oil with a MF towel then wash it his car. I told him to bring his car over so I can look at it.

    Has anyone experienced this? What can I expect to see once he brings it? Any recommendations on how to take action? Thanks.

    What you said was right MF towel and wash. Motor Oil isnt too bad. Usually I wouldn`t recommend this but bring out the DAWN dishwasher liquid or Chemical guys citrus wash. Also spray it down with a paint safe APC too.

    honestly, my first suggestion would be go to a touchless, then over to you

    Thanks Dhaval. I was planning on washing it with some CGCW but I like the dawn idea better. It`s been a few months since I applied BFCS on his car so it`s time to lay down a fresh LSP for the colder months. I have some AF Citrus Power that I like using for paint so I`ll give that a try too.

    HA! I might know someone that knows those people too.

    My brother is a barber so I immediately asked him who`s head did he mess up on.

    Thanks guys for the recommendations. I feel better approaching this now.

    Wash the car several times (if need be). This is not the end of the world for his paint.
