What are these things?? Paint issues

enkei2k · 08-28-2012, 09:38 PM

Well, here's an update for you all...I decided to just go get some clay bar, since some of you mentioned it and also because some of my friends mentioned it also. One of my friends mentioned that it is possible that it's WHEEL/TIRE CLEANER and that I didn't properly clean off the excess when I washed/waxed my car last week. So a few minutes after claying the section, it's all gone!! Thank goodness, I thought it would not have been able to get out because it was there for over a week from washing to getting it off tonight!

Thank you all for your help and suggestions and I'm glad I don't have to take it to the dealer to have it checked out. Totally my fault for not knowing how harmful tire/wheel cleaner is to the paint.

Lesson learned.

Yeah do not use that black magic stuff. Detailers' domain sells a very nice Opti-something gel that works wonders and doesn't eat your paint.
