Dirt has stained my paint.

[akyakapotter]

Ok so I've not washed my white v for a while I did it yesterday but its stained the paint with dirt. what's my best plan of action to get the paint back up to scratch

[james@cjperformance]

clay followed by machine polish

[Hou]

Stained in what sense? It could just be traffic film that you could get off with a TFR (then wash, polish wax after as most strip wax) or could just need a good claying (again then wash, polish wax after)

[akyakapotter]

Like a glaze of black washed the car and it was still there tfr truck wash ?? Think It is road grime being well stubborn to get off.

[morgey]

Traffic film remover, that or some tar and glue remover, same sort of stuff

[akyakapotter]

I got tar and glue remover ill try that tomorrow

[TrisK]

tar remover

clay

cutting compound

polish

it will come out

[akyakapotter]

I don't like claying it's boring and takes ages

[morgey]

Tar remover it will come straight out, quick polish and if you want to make it easier to remove in future a couple of layers of wax ;)

[akyakapotter]

Ill just have to stop being so lazy and clean it more often

[Amjad]

Clay works. Then a polish

[DavidAshton]

This stuff works a treat on white cars with very little effort, got all the stained dirt off my car when I first got it.

[Driver]

As above apart from from it may be worth trying a bit of ironX too in case there is a bit of industrial fall out in there too.

[dean@mainzcarcare]

I would get some TFR on there and give it a proper clean with some good shampoo then see where your at, if that doesn't solve it then I'd look at claying the car and a final resort would be machine polishing.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys I will give it a go over the weekend

I get this problem every time i miss a wash

I get rid of it all with Autoglym Super Resin polish

[Broony]

yeah auto glym super resin is a very mild cutting polish so will break throught the dirty layer

[ryan lang]

dare i say it...

T-CUT!

[Fozzie]

^ He dared!

[pick1]

My white gt does this if I don't get chance to clean it and the dirt sets in but a good wash and auto glym super resin polish seems to get it off and then a couple of layers of wash after

[ryan lang]

i t-cut my car when ive got a good long day to do it

ill wet it, spray rhinogoo on it, rub that in, wash it off

bang the t-cut on, buff it off. then go over it with one of the polishes (enhance?) i bought from ninjashine. then mer hybrid wax it

im not into cleaning my car as most of you can probably tell. i spent £30 squid on a mer clay bar kit around 7 months ago, and i havent even opened the box yet :/
