Try mineral turps
Wax + grease remover
Auto Paint thinners....
one of these will work depending on how cured/old the fishoilene is.

If it has fully cured you will not remove it with chemicals (apart from paint stripper). You need sandblasting, wire brush wheel or sanding.

I was going to say "You don't take fish oil off" but if its somewhere that has to be painted or seen...
Its great under the guards and on the chassis... I have about 4 litres of Fish Oil in MY Beetle.... Talking about fishoil .. I have been using it
since the late 60's and I have used just about every brand on the market , but My Son just bought a 4 litre tin of Motorpro fish oil and it is
THE BEST I have used... Dries within a few days... and sticks very well... I do have some on undercoated paint which I will have to get off somehow..
probably wet & dry paper....:o:thumb

I've always use petrol, works great, but can't say I've tried it on fishoil that's had a few years to dry.
