Will rubbing alcohol take off armarol?i am trying to get ready to do the badge overlays and door sills, and need some thing to clean all grease off?

can't hurt to try.if that doesn't work, give goo gone or un-do a try.

Yeah, I'd use some kind of degreaser (like ragingfish listed or there are many others, you've probably already got something around the house that will work) and then use the rubbing alcohol. The alcohol alone will probably not cut through all the armor-all in one try.

Rubbing alcohol really is you best bet as it will evaporate and not leave any additional residue behind. You start playing with degreasers and such and you'll end up with residue from it as well.- RyanGrafxWerks

Alcohol will work. I'd make sure that you use a diluted version...about 1:1 with water. Also, Don't leave it on the car for long periods of time, it will eat your clear coat...I can guarantee you that.Desi

It would evaporate before it would eat the clearcoat. And when it evaporates, it too can leave residue behind, usually the residue of whatever it dissolved.

thanks guys

ya know, they say dawn dish soap is used to get oil off of animals affected by a spill...

Dish soap will take the wax right off...don't use it unless you plan to wax right away...
