Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] ] Cleaning MB

I've found Lye Soap or Biodiesel to be amazing. Don't leave it on paint
or plastic for long. It will remove everything. Plastics and fabrics
should be okay with 15-30 minutes before thoroughly washing/rinsing with
regular detergent and water. Paints, you can see the rag picking up the
paint color in minutes.
