      oil and mayo? the egg in the mayo might strip your paint.

      When I did mine I used a citrus based cleaner called goof off. It's available at menards. I originally bought it to get old latex paint out of a hot tub in a house. A cat jumped up and spilled the tray apparently.

      Any way, the stuff is reasonably priced, is not really hard on finishes and paints, and worked well for me.

      Whatever method you use, make sure you remove or tape off your taillights, I had just a little leak over mine and could see the trail. I wasn't worried about it as I will get the blacked out LED's in the future. Or something.

      I will think of a better signature later.

      Looks good. I took my bow tie off also, and now I have those two holes in that trim piece, But that will be fixed some day.
