I don't see what's so difficult to understand here... I'm suggesting that he NOT set his Jeep on fire, and that means removing or protecting anything that could catch fire from the combustion of the hairspray. Meaning: The hairspray itself will ignite easily, and will remove the oil as it burns. This should not cause the fabric upon which the hairspray is sprayed to burn, but the flame from that combustion could catch something else on fire. Make more sense now?

As far as the Darwin Award comments, that's just uncalled for - it's not like I'm telling the guy to douse his interior in gasoline and throw a match in there! Bottom line: If you don't know WTF you're talking about, keep your BS comments to yourself.

Finally, I'll reiterate that I, personally, did not do this - my cousins did, and I witnessed it first-person. I can't attest to what brand of hairspray it was, but regardless of whether you choose to believe it or not, this DOES work great.

End rant.

 

i know exactly what you mean, just personally wouldnt try it on a jeep even though it may work....I had friends back in the day who would do that same thing with their hands.......

 

We're not dumb. We're just having fun.

 

Berg, here's a picture of the woolite I use, walmart sell's it. Remember 10:1 ratio (10 parts water 1 part soap) or (10o.z water to 1 o.z soap)

 

Bump that!

 

speak for yourself.

 

For most oil stains on fabric, I use baby powder to absorb the oil. Just put a mound over the area and let it sit for several hours. Depending on the amount of oil, you may need to repeat this a few times. Just use a vacuum to suck it up. It's saved a lot of shirts/furniture over the years and does not seem to have the risk of changing the fabric color.
