james@cjperformance Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 clay followed by machine polish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Traffic film remover, that or some tar and glue remover, same sort of stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 I don't like claying it's boring and takes ages Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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 ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Clay works. Then a polish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dean@mainzcarcare Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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.Dean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pick1 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 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 offbang 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 :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
