My father was in independent importer from 1962 to the mid 80's. A lot of VW's and Porsche's came through our hands. They all came in with a coating of cosmoline on the trim. As a young kid I'd spend hours helping clean them up prior to delivery.

We used kerosene. If we had access (depending on the port in Seattle or Vancouver) we would get them steam cleaned. Steam cleaning worked really well and was quick but it was more expensive than having me do them ;-)
