How to remove WD40 from my diffuser.

I followed a thread that suggested to use WD40 to help remove the rear diffuser. Some ran down the front of the diffuser and I tried to remove it using soap and water, Super Clean and Mother Back to Black with no success. Anyone have any suggestions?

I thought about spraying the whole thing in WD40 but I'm afraid once it dried it would collect dust like crazy.

Try a bug and tar remover on it. You'll have to re-apply any protection you have on it afterwards.
Basically, you're going to need to dissolve the oil somehow.

APC? Tried that yet? Or anything with a degreaser would more than likely work.

Worked like a charm, thanks Shibbs.
