That is right plastic spatulas work well.

Those indents arent that big and none of the plastic spatulas are small
enough.

Should be able to trim down a stick tho.

I use one to clean a lawn mower.

I've never bothered with mine and would normally use a flat
screwdriver for those since my lawnmowers have cast bodys.

However maybe you need to test a few solvents on the stuff and see what
happens.

Yeah, I was hoping someone could tell me what works
with the very dark grey slime I have in the wheel well.

Most of the yank comments with google and youtube
are for the green slime commonly used there.

Depends what you can get.

I do have most of the common ones, turps, metho, acetone
and there should be some paint thinner somewhere. But it
would be more convenient if someone knows what works
since I'd have to check with the more unusual stuff that it
wont take the paint off.

If the paint is car paint

Yes it is, that’s the standard car paint it came with.

whitespirit should be safe I think.

I couldn’t remember about that, but easy to look up.

Presumably it came from a spare which had some form of tyre
slime in it which came off the rim or something. I don't use any
form of tyre slime myself, but did get a couple of tyres and rims
from the wreckers and it was presumably in one of those.
The thinner stuff washed off with tap water quite effectively,
but the deeper pools had a skin on them and washing didn't
work very well with those. Before I washed off the thin stuff,
the deeper pools weren't sticky on top, but they are now.
The pools are still quite soft and it should be possible to gouge
it off with a flat screwdriver, but I am reluctant to do that and gouge
the paint.
Anyone know a good way of getting rid of the remaining pools ?


If you need to `gouge` use plastic or a piece of wood.
