Hell I had to use the tomato juice on myself,and yes that stinks too,but not as bad as ole pepe le pu juice. Got sprayed while out deer hunting in a marsh. Had to throw away my clothes and boots.

Tomato juice
Just don't let the juice sit for too long, acid will rust metal and could stain paint...

Peeee Yeeeew!!! I thought I smelled something when I logged on.
As long as he does it in the shade he should be fine. I wouldn't do it on a day that is hotter than Haiti either. I would try to it on a cool, overcast day or early or late in the day when temps are much cooler thus slowing down the evaporative process. Maybe do sections at time instead of trying to do the whoe bike at once.
I wouldn't let the gas sit on the paint that long. I haven't had any problems with gas on the tank when filling, but I always wipe it up pretty quick. I've heard it's really bad on the paint, and I've also heard it's nothing to worry about as the gas evaporates quickly. I don't know either way, but not sure I'd take the chance. Maybe wash rinse wash rinse several times on the paint. But that's just me.

From howstuffworks.com:
So if curious Fido happens to frighten Pepe Le Pew, all you need to do is mix 1 quart (.95 liters) of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, a quarter cup (59 milliliters) of baking soda and one teaspoon (5 milliliters) of liquid detergent and lather him up
let sit, then rinse.
