Need help removing baked on PAM!!

[bobinsofla]

Yes, you read the title correctly. I applied PAM to the car to prevent love bug damage and, being that I was not the one driving the car, the PAM stayed on for several days and got "baked" on. Tried typical car shampoo/soap but no luck. Should I use a bug and tar remover or just bite the bullet and use my Griot's paint prep and do a detail finish job on the areas affected?


Thanks and a word to the wise out there - PAM works, but you got to remove it before it dries/bakes on....

Would a soak with P21S Total Wash help ??? If not you might need to polish (abrade) the surface.

Never heard of using PAM before, I have heard on some using Wd-40 however.

I don't think I need to abrade - I can actually get it to come off with WD-40, just never very easily. Being that PAM is essentially corn oil, I was thinking that a tar remover might be what I need. Any product suggestions?

I would think a good paint cleaner like Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer or Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion would take that off.

Next time use a product made for bugs, like Diamondlite Crystal Gloss.

Next time use Bug Slide. It works great on paint but not sure how good it works on pans.

Of course you can't - you live in Cali. No bugs...just liberals...
