WD-40 will work and will flash off without hurting the paint. Personally, I prefer PrepSol and have not found it to adversely affect the finish...

OK, Jim, I may have you beat! I have not met Mr. Zaino, but I have met Ben Cohen from Ben & Jerry's! During a meeting with him, he actually presented a bar graph made out of Oreo cookies! One of his all-time favorite foods!!

Oh you people have just opened up a can of worms...
I boarded a Continental flight and sat next to Patrick Duffy. He turned around and said something to a travel companion behind him, and it was none other than Larry Hagman and his wife. The voice was unmistakeable. They were in LA for Johnny Carson's funeral last year. I'm just old enough to remember their hay days of TV.
However, nothing beats my memory of sitting next to Robert Englund (Freddie Krueger) on a flight a couple of years back. He was a complete jackass to me and everyone on the plane. He actually turned his back to me after I asked him what brought him to Memphis... I did not recognize him without his makeup and really didn't care who he was.

Once was all it took  
Anywho, I use simple green on my wheels as well.. works great.

Hey,
I have a Patrick Duffy tale as well Back in the summer of 1980 Patrick Duffy stayed at a Hyatt Hotel I was Managing. It was standard for the Manager to greet significant VIPs.
For you more experienced folk, you may remember that this was the Summer of the famous Who Shot JR cliffhanger season finale.
Anyway, our Bell Captain gathered his luggage from the Limo and the three of us went upstairs to his Suite. I was schmoozing Duffy (really nice guy) and when we got to his Suite, I put my Master key in the door, but stopped, turned to him and said "You realize I'm not going to open this door 'til I find out who shot JR..." He replied "Well, I guess I'm sleeping in the hallway then, because we don't know, they are worling with several scripts and scenarios and we don't even know which one will be used... besides, there's a Writer's Guild strike on and we're honoring that, so until that's settled, I'm not saying anything to anyone..."
He stayed with us a week during which he asked me to dine with him one evening. A really nice, down to earth guy...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
