Looking for diesel soot cleaner

Ever try Dawn Dishwashing liquid? If it removes oil spillage from feathery baby ducks, I think it would work for diesel soot on an RV too. Dawn is a grease cutter. I know it works very well cleaning up other types of petroleum problems and animal fat (cooking oil) problems.

Just Remember that Dishwashing soap will also remove the wax. I assume this is true with Dawn.

Any cleaning product with ammonia will do a good job with diesel soot.

Thanks for all the response. I used Simple Green and it worked well.

Reminds me of a friends VW New Beetle, TDI, he had a sticker made "diesel soot....the badge of honor". He bought the TDI as it sounded more like the air cooled VW

Bug and tar remover works well on my trucks lower quarter panel

Simple green and a Magic Eraser will take it off.

WD-40. Followed by dishwashing soap and a good rinse.

I use Mean Green or similar product. Buy it by the gallon at Family Dollar and use it as a prewash. I wet the back of the MH and lower sides near the back and they spray followed by a power wash. Works great for me.

I also use it as a prewash bug remover for the front.

I've found that something like Turtle Wax does a good job of removing soot and it won't harm the finish like a solvent might.
