wire brush or parts cleaner running for while on skins seems to break stuff down.

How easy was it to remove the stuff? Protectant shouldn't come off with the simple wipe of the hand.

Now, if you're using brake cleaner or WD40 to dissolve it and them scrubbing it off, then stop it. Bad....

the evo undercoating is not cosmoline. It IS the crappiest undercoating ever used by any auto mfg IMO- it gets on you if you just look at it. I have removed some with lacquer thinner and paper towels.

Bingo... protects the underbody from rusting from the abuse of the roads. ie, stone chips and salt.

The best type of undercoating you should not be able to remove without a strong dissolver. Mits' will come off is your rub it.

So basically its the Evo's spooge juice. It protects the Evo from harmful transmitted diaseases.

So if you got it in your hair, you have Evo Spooge Juice on you.
