I got a clear front plate cover, and painted the inside to match the paint.

I had some grease up the side of my car once from road tar or something. Nothing would take it off. It just "smeared" when wiped with water. I put a dab of Simple green on the tip of a mocro fiber towel. It took the grease off easily. Rubbing my finger where the grease was I could tell it stripped all the polish off too . The areas where I wiped was no longer smooth. I had to re-polish the entire side of the car.
Just a heads up.

If the Simple Green got on the paint it stripped all the wax/polish off too.

Once everything was dry, I went over the body with my detail spray.
No wax was removed by the simple green.
