     I doubt it very much, since Cosmoline is a petroleum based
     product that usually only washes off with thinner or stronger
     solution.  Sometimes WMB and Mercyless Benz spray their OEM
     brake disks with the stuff and it has to be taken off with
     brake cleaner or some such preparation.  You'd probably destroy
     the finish of the car trying to remove it, and it's also a
     little gooey, dust and dirt stick to it.  The hepatitis color
     is most noticable on cars with wide coated valve covers, such
     as the WMB.
