Hot water and washing up liquid?

Fairy is a no no as it contains salt. Use something like quick detailer or Super Resin Polish.

This is engine oil, a lot of it and by the time I get home will be dried on in spots!

Will be fine. I have to polish off oily hand prints etc all the time, ha ha.

So what about a proper car shampoo?

Oh and dont use Fairy we have Morning Fresh!

Proper car shampoo will get some of it off but it'll seep into the paint a bit so you'll need to really get at with polish.
