Engine oil stains can be cleaned using the following methods: Wash with alkaline water containing dissolved salt, or wipe the oily area with an alcohol solution, then rinse with clean water after scrubbing; Moisten or soak the oil-stained area with gasoline, then wipe it off, and finally clean the gasoline residue with dishwashing liquid; Apply toothpaste evenly on the area with engine oil, wait for an hour, then wipe off the toothpaste with a damp towel and rinse with water. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil and provide certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.

How to Remove Tree Sap from Car Windows?

Clay bar, this high-density gel-like substance, not only has strong cleaning power but also possesses certain polishing effects. It's worth a try. Use a cloth dipped in high-proof liquor to wipe. The higher the alcohol content, the better. Experiments show that liquor is very effective at dissolving tree sap. Mix dish soap or laundry detergent with hot water, soak a towel in the solution, and then apply the wet towel directly to the affected area. Convenient but more expensive.
