[Vwdiesel] Ceaning sooty oil off beige paint

[Libbybapa at wmconnect.com]

I recently purchased a vanagon with a tossed rod in the diesel engine.  When 
the engine blew it sprayed black sooty oil all over the back hatch of the van. 
 It then sat for several months outdoors uncleaned.  The sooty stains on the 
beige paint are very stubborn.  Any suggestions on a cleanr to use that will 
get out the oil/soot without marring the paint?
