mechanic crud on car

[xlr8rvette]

Today had new battery and oil pressure guage installed. Mechanic got greasy hands all over fender. I always tell them not to wash Vette. Question is will this hurt the wax if leave it on for a few days? Vette will be in garage and I am busy til Saturday morning.

 

Being OCD as I am will likely find a way to wash tomorrow. Curious if waiting would hurt.

 

Thank you

As long as it's just grease I'd think it would be fine. However, if there's any possibility of battery acid or anything caustic/acidic, I'd remove it immediately. Personally, if it was me, I'd have to find the time to get that off of there before Saturday.

There is no doubt that after drop Lyn off at 0800 will quickly return home to wash Vette !! The other stuff will hafta wait

See...you're my kind of OCD!!! That's what I'd do, Bill. This is the only downside to owning a very nice car. You are at the mercy of some people who will never treat your car with the respect that it deserves or with a level of caution that even remotely approaches your own. I can think of little else that would make me sad than to see a 'vette with that sloppy greasy print defacing it!

why not a quick detail spray wipe off until you have more time?

Considerred that , however, black car with fair amount of dust at the moment from sitting in garage. Washed a week ago but in garage for past 4 days. Besides want to put a coat of Brilliant Glaze on. Polished and waxed 3 weeks ago and purposely deferred the glaze for a few weeks. Will glaze after wash.

I will be over to get your keys. You have lost all Vette owning privileges.

What's this "dust" you speak of?

[Chris@Adams]

If it were me I would take WCW & a bunch of WCW towels with me to the garage and clean it off before I drove it home, or it would absolutely drive me nuts!

Not sure, Have not experienced it. I think it is a by product that appears on the cars of owners who try to get the jump on Corvettes???
