Removing Oil Stains from Hull and tubes

[shahid]

Dear all,

Some @(#$&%^@%*#^#(!&#*()^!##(&*^#!#)(!&#$)&$)*(&!)*(&$ *(_!_&$!&)~% has discharged oil in the waters near my mooring.

Yesterday morning the hull was clean and in the evening I found her floating in oil.

Now what is the best way to get the stains off without harming hull or tubes? A couple of old sea dogs here suggested using kerosene, but I'm not sure about that. I came across a thread on this forum that suggests using WD-40. Isn't it bad for the tubes?

The best way I can think of is to catch the #!#)(*&^!(#^!#$^y(*^$*((&@*# who did it and make him lick it off...but meanwhile any suggestions will be welcome.

Cheers
Shahid

truck wash ok, steamer not, it will reach the temperature where the glue will start to degrade add the power wash bit to that and you could be in trouble

I meant a powerwasher with a hot/cold setting, similar to those at most garages.
