not too long ago i found these marks on my car, mainly on the hood area. looks like water splashes cept it wont come off w/ normal wash. i do remember parking in a temporary parking zone overnight, and the next day there was this weird sticky crap all over my car, and i guess splashed onto my hood. then i neglected to clean it off til a week later. anyways take a look at the pictures, and let me know what i can do to get rid of it.

please excuse the uberly large pic, its the only way to show it







my roomy said the "sticky" stuff mightve ate my clean coat or something.

 

did you park under a tree?

 

try claybar?

 

nah next to a fence, which was... next to a construction area.

hm claybar, ill give it a try sometime this week

 

Weird... I've had stuff like that from concrete dust when they built the condo next door.

But yeah, claybar should take it out. Just remember to wax again after.

 

yea try claybar

 

Clay bar first, if that doesn't work, then scratch x or cleaner wax, if that doesn't work then polishing compound.

If that doesn't work then you will have to go to rubbing compound (which will haze your clear coat because it is aggressive and is pretty close to wet sanding) so be careful. Once that is done go back over it with polishing compound to make the clear coat shine again.

 

nuclear fallout.

try to claybar it or use scratch x and you should be good

 

awesome tips guys thanks! ill try them out

 

I would suggest, if you don't do this already, so get a bottle of cleaner wax and use it once or twice a year to clean out your paint and keep it looking good.

 

You probably have concrete on there that was in the air.

Paint cleaner,claybar,polish,then wax and it will be gone.

 

claybar and also try a light compound

 

looks like water etching from the pics... scratch x is only going to hide the problem not fix it. best bet will be to get a detailer or pick you up a random orbiter a wool pad, some compound, polish, and wax.. Water etching happens when minerals in water dries and literally etch the clear coat.

 

some body really loves your car alot

 

haha wow that's hardcore. but yea, what ultimately gotten rid of the marks was 3M scratch remover. claybar kinda helped but it was still noticeable.

 

glad to hear you were able to fix it,concrete dust does that very thing to cars,it is the lime in it that etches the paint,basically you rubbed the clear coat down past the problems and repolished.
