Is removed from limousine's watery type of paintwork (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emulsion

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is removed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'from limousine's watery type of paintwork' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the leftover letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emulsion that I've seen before include "Mixture involving two liquids which do not readily combine" , "Wall paint" , "Type of paint" , "Mixture of insoluble liquids" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
