Exterior Stain.. Not Going help..

[ag82]

I have seen recently this new stain on my car as shown in the pictures... I have tried various things to help with the stain water, soap, vinegar, gas, and I also bought rubbing compound and tried to rub it out but didnt work either... Any suggestions what this stain is and how can I get rid of it..

Now can you feel anything when you run you have over it? (Does it have texture)

My suggestion is start with the texture, if it has ant then I'm sure a clay bar will surely take care of it.

I agree with Evan, I'd start first by claying, should remove it.
That's a weird stain, do you know what caused it?, that would help.

Yes it has a texture to it something coarse over the paint.. it is not sticky and I dont know what caused it.. I initially thought it was water mark and I left it thinking will remove it some day, but then I tried removing it but it is not going away..

Try the detailing clay. You can pick of the Meguiars smooth surface kit at your local auto store or walmart.

When I went to the autoshop they told me the rubbing compund bottle they gave me it better than the clay , so i got that..


I have tried rubbing compound and rubbed for a while with the microfiber cloth it may be made slight diffrence, will clay work better ?

The rubbing compund I tried was of Meguair company only and tried it didnt work good.. Now should I go and buy the clay and try that ?

Yes. Read through those articles first so you have an understanding on why and how the clay bar works and what it does.

In short the clay is used to abrade the above surface contamination off of the paint.

Try goof off or WD-40? Might go quicker with some sort of a solvent. It's hard to advise without knowing what it is.
