Need to clean up oil that has acculmulated in the bottom of the fuselage from the sheetmetal/cloth transition. Oil filler cap was loosed and oil ended up streaming around fuselage and starting to accumulate on the inside of the cloth at that transition and then subsequently attracted the desert dirt. What cleaner(simple green?) can I use to scrubb in there with a brush and then rinse with water or is there another harsher solvent to try?
The humidity is <20% most of the time around here so I'm not worried about wetting or corrosion as it will dry quickly even if I hosed it!
Thanks....
