So after picking up my car from the shop and going over the car with a QD, I noticed this orange spot on my trunk lid. I have no clue what it is/where it came from. After I wiped off the orange crust, I realized it stained my paint for a lack of a better word. Now there is an orange spot on the paint but it's almost as if it's ingrained in it, theres no texture to it....I'm at work right now and dont have pics but I'll try to take one with my camera phone and post up if you guys give me about 10 mins. I tried letting the QD soak in for a few minutes, that didnt work. Help! thanks!

 

I'll reserve final judgement until I see your pics but claybar or a polish might do the trick.

 

i had a small rust looking spot on my wing yesterday.. not sure wtf it was, but i put a little menzerna polish on a foam pad and rubbed on it by hand and it went away

 

FAILED. I went outside to take a picture with my phone and my battery has been so crappy lately that when I tried to send the pic to myself so I can post, the phone dies. So no picture until I get home from work. However, it's exactly as I describe, it's a really small (less than a cm in diameter) oval that is orange. no texture at all, it is "one with the paint" I guess I should say.

BTW: would i need a fine or medium grade clay bar?

 

mguires paint cleaner takes all my stains out of my IP

 

Where can I get that at? How's it applied?

 

any auto part store, its a wax, its like a step 1...cleans the paint prior to a wax....white always gets stains...

 

Thanks. So is this recommended BEFORE I try to clay it off?

 

i actually never clay barred...but this works for me n e time and everytime...

 

i don't think claybar will get rid of what you have. i'd go ahead and try some sort of paint cleaner. mcguiars, zaino.. or if you have some sort of light polish, that should do

 

I'll pick some up today, thanks for the suggestions!

Is this what you're using:

yes and i love it!!! it actually came with a clay bar kit i bought and i tried it first and loved it and never used the clay bar

 

Okay i went out and bought the meguiars paint cleaner first thing after work. It didnt work! I'm starting to get paranoid lol. someone helppppp.

waiting for you to chime in Garnet!!

 

did you give it a good rub?

 

i rubbed but i was afraid to mar the paint. I'll give it another try later on. I did notice on my applicator pad some orange came off.
