Just curious if anyone has tried to remove cosmoline from their under body plastic panels? If so, what did you use? Mineral spirits? Thanks.

If you're talking about the factory stuff, I took mine off with a pressure washer. Messy, not super quick, but it did work.

Mineral spirits should do it.

When I had transmission oil seepage, it soaked the panels. By the time I looked into it and took the panels off, everything just wiped off like butter.
