how to remove black stains after driving on track?

ZBW39 · 05-24-2010, 01:39 PM

Hello guys,
after my first day on track, i found black stains on my white pearl z and they could not be removed with those instant detailer spray. I wiped it couple times with cloth but it's not comming off. What do I need to use to get these stain off?

thanks

Try Cleaner wax and buff it out with a cloth.

clay bar. those are rubber deposits. they take a bit of work, but they will come off. You might try some goo gone initially also.

Clay bar and/or goo gone should get it.

I don't know. I have PLENTY of those on my Chicane Yellow and I tried the clay bar which got most of the mark but still leaves a ghost mark. My car's front bumper is covered in them.

I think maybe a rubbing compound?

here are the two products I use... very fast, very effective... plenty of water before / after...

note: I'm not too particular about damaging clear coat and what not... others may want to comment on risk of using these

Claybar will work wonders...

This ought to do the trick with some 40 grit sand paper:

.... just kidding please don't do that

Have you tried WD40? Its actually pretty decent at removing tar and rubber spots on lower panels. Just be sure to wash the area afterwards and apply a fresh coat of wax or sealant afterwards.
