Thoughts?

Most of the stuff in the can is garbage. You may be able to find some proffesional stuff and it will be expensive. Go to an autobody paint supply shop and talk to them. If you buy the stuff thats like $5 a can its crap and does nothing but make stuff black for a while.

Rocker Shutz from Spies (sp?) is good stuff.

OK ... so le'me get this right ... I'm new here... you want to wash off the old oil and grease ... so you can squirt on fresh oil/grease ...?

I just repaired my floorpans so I need to paint the metal that was used to do the repairs before I put undercoating on. While I'm at it, I want to clean the grease off from the surrounding areas so there's a bit of overlap in the repair area, meaning, no cracks/gaps for water to get in. If I don't clean the grease off, the new coating will not adhere.
