        i'm sold if this can remove cosmoline for good on plastic pieces, my car has a healthy dose of it on plastic bits that I want gone forever.

                        Cosmoline

                        You can get cosmoline off metal using Oven Cleaner...just spray it on, wait a few minutes and scrub a bit with one of those green scrubbers. It works great on steel in the engine compartment but I don't know how it will react with aluminium so test that first.

                            Looks great. I'll do this to my intake, AFM, and coil cover when I get the chance.

                              Like to see this done on some outside trim to see how it holds up to the weather.
