How to Get Oil Off a Car Body

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Use a hose or bucket to rinse the area with water. This will help to remove any loose oil and dirt.

In a bucket, mix a solution of dish soap and water. The ratio should be about 1:10. For example, use 1 cup of dish soap to 10 cups of water.

Use a sponge to apply the solution to the area. Work in small sections, and use a circular motion to clean the area.

Once you have cleaned the area, rinse it with water to remove any remaining soap or oil.

Once the area is clean, wash the entire car using car wash soap. This will help to remove any remaining oil or dirt from the car.

Once the car is clean, apply a coat of wax to protect the paint. This will help to prevent oil from sticking to the car in the future.

If the oil is still not coming off, you can try using a stronger solution of dish soap and water. However, be careful not to use too much soap, as this can damage the paint.
You can also try using a commercial oil remover. These products are specifically designed to remove oil from cars.
If the oil is on a painted surface, it is important to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. These can damage the paint.
If the oil is on a plastic surface, you can use a stronger solution of dish soap and water. However, be careful not to scrub too hard, as this can scratch the plastic.
