since i run headers and hi flows, true duals, its just about wide open. well over time the smog and stuff has stained my rear bumper right above the tips and since the car is white, you can notice the stains big time. does anyone know of any wax or polish or other cleaner that can cover it up or clean it up. i want to try something before i have to use my last resort and paint it.

 

Have you trued buffing compound? (not polish, although that will work, just slower).

 

no i havent tried anything yet, i wanted to know if anyone else had this happen to them and what they did to remove it

 

A heavy duty compound WILL take it off, assuming it does not need to be repainted from the stain (which I doubt).

I used to buff boats, and Gel Coat is a lot more difficult than our clear coat to buff. And there was nothing you couldn't tackle with a acid wash, and heavy duty buff on boats.

As for to chemicals to take it off, you will have to wait for others to chime in...

 

I agree with rubbing compound. It will take the stains off. Might take a few applications but it WILL work.

 

ok cool, thanks guys. the weather should get a little warmer in the next couple days so ill try it then

 

I recommend 3M rubbing compound

 

i can find that at any auto store? and also if thats not available, what about mothers or meguires or any other brands?

 

Advance and AZ don't have 3M. I got a small container of it at Walmart of all places. Independent auto stores, have it around here though (including gallon containers!).

 

Other brands should work, we just always used 3M at work. Meguires was OK.
