fifth wheel grease removal advice

Take some "sandy dirt" or perhaps some sort of smaller grain cat litter and some gloves and "scrub" the lines with this. They sell an aerosol "de-greaser" available at most places but these typically have minimal benefit. Regardless, afterward you will probably need to utilize a high-pressure car wash hose to remove the residual mess.

 

Gasoline, you can't was that stuff off.

 

i have used Brake Kleen, it is a good degreaser. i would recommend that you spray the Brake Kleen onto a rag, for better coverage, as that stuff costs big money, and /or then you can use Purple Power, if you can find that in a spray bottle. nearly any degreaser you can buy at an auto parts store, or even at the truck stops.

use disposable rags that come in a roll, much like paper towels do, use the rags to wipe off, if you use a spray bottle, otherwise, soak the rag in the stuff, if you're buying it by the gallon. then of course, properly dispose of the rags.

you ain't the first person this has ever happened to.

good luck.

 

nearly all dish soaps have degreasers, but not nearly enough as the HD stuff. the dish soap will however, remove wax from your car.

 

Soak a rag with engine oil, it should remove the grease, then a citrus spray to remove the oil.

 

WD-40 works good too.

 

i suppose he could always go into a truck parked at the fuel island, and grab that driver's clothing. i hear wayward parked truckers clothing, makes for great rags.

 

If you can get a hold of some dettol that stuff works on almost anything
