    Beware! 3M adhesive remover will take off Poly Tone slick as a whistle. It contains MEK, among other things.

    I wonder if the M-Ron Deep Clean would do the job of cleaning the stain?

    I'll give their wax a try.

    I have read in the past to take out Avgas stains, just use avgas on a rag.

    I'm going to try 100LL AvGas today. Never thought of using it.

    avgas will work on avgas, but will not work on auto gas stains. also an auto gas leak will break down Stewarts system glue very fast auto gas is nasty.
