just read about clay bar under the waxing topic..
here's an imprtant FYI clay bar can be ABRASIVE. what happened to me.. found some black bumper mark on my rear bumper.. evidently somebody practiced bump and park with my car.. so I took out my clay magic clay bar, and started to remove the mark by rubbing it real hard.. I removed the mark alright.. but when I looked at it at an angle under the light, I found that the clear coat was GONE!!! I basically rubbed away the clear coat to get rid of the mark. now that I wised up.. I realized you should always use a clay bar gently!! and for bumper marks (usually some rubber residue)... Ive found a sure fire way that works 100% of the time - remove them with HOUSEHOLD LACQUER THINNER.. that's right. LACQUER THINNER.. it WONT desolve the paint.. just dampen a napkin with some thinner, and wipe the area clean.. make sure your paint is in good condition though.. the thinner would not desolve the paint, but it might get underneath it if your paint is in not so good shape and you soak the area. oh.. if your paint job is not factory I make no guarantee... |
