Hi guys am new here and Ive just fallen in love with this forum. I got a small roblem and wish you guys can hel me. I own a Nov 2006 black honda city zx oh no thats not the roblem

. The thing is my car has got oil stains all over the car they are actually small dots all over the car. they actually cooking oil stains. My garage is close to the kitchen and so when my mom frys anything the oil vaour comes and settles on the cars. Tried washing the car used formula 1 olish, even waxol but no use. so I tried wd40 on a small ortion just to try and it worked but am scared to use it all over the car as it can damage the aint. Is there any other solution guys. requesting all guys for their advises. Thanks in advance.

The Amway car wash is supposed to be really good. Have you tried it.

Is it oil from kitchen or tar from road, which will look like spots? asking coz its monsoon.

What i would do, wash car off all dirt/mud. Take a clean ol cloth dip some kerosene or diesel, wipe over the whole body, leave it for 5 mts. You will see the whole body weeping with the tar/oil stain getting dissolved. Wash thoroughly with good car shampoo. WD40 works fine but its expensive for this use.

Ensure you wash and dry the car after properly, also try not to spill or use too much kerosene/diesel/wd40 on windows and weather strips on the glass.

Another cheap method - go to any cosmetic shop and look for a shampoo that says "for oily hair"....

Am I joking?
