Bob,
When I had my Spit front bumper rechromed last year, I noticed a stain
on one of the overriders. I tried every solvent that I had on hand with
no success. Finally, I went back to the shop that did the work and
showed it to the foreman. He nonchalantly went into the back room and
emerged with a plastic bottle and a rag. After wetting the rag with
some magic unnamed substance he wipes the stain right off.
Unfortunately, he wouldn't divulge the name of the product. Mumbled
something about, "If I tell you, I'd have to kill you."
But your shop probably has some of the same stuff there.
