Paint? Tar? fly poop?

Do you know what it is?

How long or how many times have you clayed over the same black spot?
Had an experience or several experiences in a body shop where a painter accidentally sprayed a car nearby and I had
to clay out the spots. Took me 20, 30 times back and forth and about 1/2 hour or longer to get a small area cleaned up.

Try to go longer and more aggressive with lube till it is gone.

Let us know what happens.

It looks like paint for sure

I may have not done the clay in a longer period. Will try to be more aggressive with it.

thanks!

I get little palm tree drippings on my cars that look like that, clay won't touch it, polishing won't touch it. I just use my thumbnail to break it loose. Maybe a credit card or a plastic razor blade? Just in the targeted area.

Which clay bar did you try on it?

I used my thumbnail but it wouldnt budge. Didn't wanna cause any paint damage

I used Meguiars. Could I use something better?

The Meguiars clay should work ok if it's paint overspray. Just use plenty of lube and go back and forth over it smoothly while applying just the right amount of passion to it, concentrating on the spots getting removed.

I just finished not too long ago but whew... didn't know it would take that much elbow grease. I did the whole driver side of the car cause it was everywhere, But I was able to remove it all.

Glad to hear that you were able to remove it.. A med. grade Nanoskin Mitt would've made it much faster.

VISITOR: THANK you for reminder on PLASTIC razor blades. We were just evaluating paint nibs last night at TNOG, and rec was for him to razor blade. We forgot to emphasize plastic. Just sent him a text with urgency. He's on it.
