Default Re: Idea to remove Deoderant off of Truck?

More expensive, but there is a product I use with any auto I'm painting or touching up. Called Pre Kleeno, by RM. It will strip almost any goo, wax, silicone, oil or other chemicals that can negatively effect paint. Without damaging the paint. It's made specifically for cleaning surfaces before (and between) coats of automotive paint. Harder to find than the other suggestions offered, for sure. But if these other methods fail, you might try the RM. Probably have to seek out a store that sells auto paint. On the plus side, my can was purchased in the early 1980's, and was still good when I used some this past weekend. BE WARNED: Because it is designed to take off wax, especially, you must re-wax any areas you ultimate clean with it.

An easier to find alternative, but more arm power involved..... Turtle wax No. 7 white polishing compound. Only very slightly abrasive, it will never-the-less buff out many surface issues. Use it with a soft damp/wet cloth first. If that isn't enough, lessen the amount of water in the rag. Apply only by hand in circular action, and you shouldn't end up with swirls (any minor swirls are easily covered with wax). No. 7 will work on glass, chrome and paint. It even does a great job on aging plastic headlight covers. Apply, work it in, let it dry, then buff it off. After it is all removed, again you will need to wax the areas you use it on (except glass or chrome). I wax the plastic on my headlights after I use it, to extend the time I need to do them again. Again, labor intensive, and best in the shade on surfaces that are not too hot. And work in small areas at a time.

Good luck with it. If you go with the hand polishing, make that brother help. And tell him that if he screws it up, you will spray his car with brake fluid!!
