Daz Automatic washing powder ;)
I wouldn't get Daz involved, He'll have you engine apart the minute your backs turned.

If you turn your back on him, it won't be your engine that gets serviced...... ;D

Bicarbonate of soda.

Make a thick paste (toothpaste like) and chuck a load on and grind it onto the surface. Leave for 24 hrs and scrape/wash off.

We're using it to draw a bad oil stain out of the butchers block in our kitchen. Works a treat but it's deep enough in that it's taking a few applications.

Tunnie - I do similar all the time, and I wipe up what I can, without spreading it too far, spray neat screenwash on it (as its what I have handy), leave it for a while, then wipe up. Repeating if necessary.  I can see neat Fairy working better, although probably couldn't spray it so would need to use an empty handwash bottle maybe?

Sorry, I meant I use one of those el-cheapo spray bottles that the likes of Wilcos and other pikey shops sell for about 60p, which gives good coverage. The fairy bottle would give more dollops and lines, involving effort to cover all the oil...  ...so that rules me out ;D.

Seriously though, you would have to rub it in a bit, or use excessive amount, if you did it that way?

Thought as much and that's why I asked. Thought there might be a pearl of wisdom!  :-\  ;D
