Help - removing some black marks

[Andy_con]

tried, washing, clay and wax but not coming off?

Looks like someone has rubbed tar on your car, either that or a shoe or boot of some sort.
I would of thought the clay would of brought it off, maybe some tar remover would work good?

Looks like a shoe mark, i'm surprised clay didn't remove it though.

Maybe this would work to get it off?

If it is tar , which it does look like then the AG intensive tar remover will shift it no problem .

Well he's clayed his car and washed it and it's not come off so thats the only thing i could think of.

It seems pretty stubborn not to be tar doesn't it hehe.

 

[Andy_con]

its right by the drivers door, i think its shoe marks to be honest

 

[DanD182]

Then it should of come off easily if it was a shoe mark cos it's only rubber.

 

[Parky]

tried a rubber mate? (not that kind before we all start.....)

 

[Andy_con]

its not coming off with clay so might not the shoe marks?

i dont know

no not tried rubber

AG Bug and Tar remover?

Good stuff. Will need polishing and sealing after though.

 

[Andy_con]

k thanks

do look like shoes scuffs to me mate, the rubber might be the best bet, failing that have you tried light presure with your finger nail?

 

[Andy_con]

But if clay baring the mark doesn't lift how will a rubber?

It must be tar as it's obviously stained the paint maybe?

AG Tar Remover will shift that, for certain, just remember to leave it to soak for 2mins like the bottle says to

 

[clvs2222]

if that doesnt work, try either srp, or a cutting compound. failing that 3000 grade wet and dry and polish it back up.

 

[The Big Yin]

A polish like SRP will remove that easily

 

[riggsy]

id try soaking with AG Tar and Glue or Autosmart Tardis or similar and see how you get on... failing that a good buffing or even a bit of wet sanding then polish to bring back the shine

 

[Rich]

Just hit it with some SRP looks like scuffs from a shoe to me. Should polish off easily.

 

[paul]

or white spirits then use srp!

 

[Rich]

The SRP will take it off in one step why do both ?

 

[paul]

srp on its own wont take off every black mark (all depends what it is)- been there tried that

QUIXX - 8quid off ebay. 2step cutting compound and polish. Seen it, done it, job done.

You might want to buy some driving shoes and ditch the cuban heels so it doesn't happen again.

QUIXX also removes bird oxidisation. Once again tried and tested.(i'm having deja vu)

You heard it here first.
