Hi Skip,
Yes, some one noticed.  For thick goop, a scraper works nice, plastic  
if you want to be kind to what lies beneath.

For seriously heavy cleaning, nothing beats gasoline and a scrub  
brush.  The downside is that it stains your clothes, your skin, and  
if you blow up, it's very unpleasant.

For my day to day cleaning, I'm sold on Simple Green Crystal.  It's  
clear and doesn't have the fragrance as the green colored stuff.  It  
cleans up everything from heavy gear oil, to light dirt, all without  
damaging paint.  What's amazing is that it's not hazardous to your  
health, yet it works so well.

Rob
