Subject:Best Solvent For Oil Removal From Body Channel?
From:Owen Kibenge
Date:Mon, 27 Aug 2012 12:32:37 -0400

We accidentally got some OIL into a very difficult-to-get-to rocker channel
that we are treating the rust inside in a VW 90 Syncro Camper.

While oil is sometimes used as a preservative this way, that wasn't our
intention and we want to get the oil out in preparation for rust conversion
(ospho) and for OEM wax spraying.

The question we face now is which of these substances, sprayed into the
channel, is the most effective way to clean the oil out and not leave a
residue behind that could harm adherence of paint after it dries, or
interfere with the rust converting action of the Ospho:

1. Alcohol
2. Turpentine
3. Kerosene
4. Paint thinner
5. Mineral Spirits
6. Acetone
7. Biosolve organic oil eaters
8. Other
