Boy, Hershal could answer this, actually he is, since I learned from him. People like DuPont actually make a wax and grease remover. Use this before painting, and if you want before sanding and filling. I used Evercoat short hair filler to build up edges, etc. I also used glass and resin on some areas, then filled over that. Several coats of primer (sanding between each), I am reasonably close to paint. Have missed the last 4+ months due to stupid go cart injury, but, now I don't have to paint in the heat.

Lots of sanding, lots of patience.

Does this help?
