Howdy folks, it's been a very long time since I posted here but I've been really spending a lot of time re-aquainting myself with detailing since getting my new car (well it was new a year ago).
I have an issue though. A couple weeks ago I washed, clayed and put on a coat of Klasse AIO. Last Wednesday I took the car in for service. We have a show & shine at my work tomorrow and I was out at the car last night cleaning the door jambs and found what I thought was some road grime was in fact lubricant from them lubing the hinges. It has run down the door jambs and onto the side skirts, down from the fuel filler cap, etc.
Cleaning the door jambs even with 1:1 CG APC was a chore and I found it certainly wasn't dissolving it so much as just lubricating my cloth while I rubbed it off. Rubbed it off is sort of an exaggeration, I think I just mostly cleaned the grime which had stuck to the grease as it still feels sticky.
What is the best way to go about cleaning this? Something stronger than APC I'd imagine and I'm going to assume that anyting strong enough to take that off will remove my Klasse as well :(
