paint a car a nice light color! I knew better than to paint my new modified bright yellow. Then when I lube it up I get pepper all over! I did this with my Daytona Charger too. From now on it's dark colors.

Ouch....
Sometimes a cloth dipped in a little vegetable oil can get the graphite off.

Thanks for the tip. I may just use my Amsoil car polish to clean it up also. I think from now on I'm painting the cars black or gray. Maybe some of both? LOL.

Is that the stuff in the aqua green container? Mood posted somewhere a polish that he uses to remove graphite.
I use a block of wood as my "car" while I prep the wheels. The block gets dirty. Then I move them to the real car. Helps a little bit...

I initially lube the axle and wheels off the car. Then I put them on the car. Then I can't leave well enough alone. I work in even more lube. The Amsoil liquid car polish comes in a white bottle. It's pretty old so the new bottles might be a different color.

I hope your paint job cleans up! I am sure it will.

If it doesn't clean up I'm naming it Smudgie or Fingerprint!

Amsoil polish cleaned it up pretty nice. But still not perfect. But that was time I could have been polishing axles! LOL
