Removing Tire Rubber From Hood...

[jtrade]

So in the way to TN someone ran over a good sized piece of tire in the road and it flew over the car ahead of me and and hit our hood and windshield leaving quite a bit of black on the hood, the car is white pearl.  I got most of it off with the Adams Waterless Wash I brought with me but there is still a couple of spots I cannot get off with it even when using some elbow grease.  It doesnt feel "scratched" as it is smooth where the black rubber is.  Any tips on getting it off?  Or will I have to get someone to polish it out when I get back home?

 

Waterless Wash & Detail Spray are the only paint items I brought with me.

 

Thought about going to Autozone and picking up some clay since I left my Adam's clay at home but wanted opinions first.

 

I can get pics when the rain stops.

Clay might do the trick. Polishing should definitely work.

Thanks ill go buy some clay tomorrow and try that...  If that doesn't work I may look for a detailer up here to knock it off since I know 0 where i live.  I'm a about 90 miles east of Nashville, any detailers in the area of Cookeville/Sparta/Crossville TN?

What about something like Goo Gone?  OK on paint?  Just thought about it...

[egott_91]

I've used goo gone to remove adhesive from debadging vehicles, but other than that I haven't. Tar remover would work too.

 

Remember, after any of these you'll want to reapply your sealant and/or wax

Clay first then use Revive or PFP ....

Will try clay, do I need a polisher for revive or paint finish polish cause I dont have one...

 

Also, need to get some wax/sealant cause I dont have any of that either...

[BigBlue2007]

Revive = no polisher

Paint Finishing = Polisher

[Chris@Adams]

No Revive is made for hand........use either the blue foam or MF pad.

Thanks, will order some of that as well...  I can use the machine polishing pads via hand for the polish and sealant?  Or best just to get a bunch of Microfiber Pads to use with each product?  Gonna get the americana applicator with it...

 

Here goes $250+ LOL but the vehcile needs a good polish & wax for sure as it has not been done since we purchased it...

Americana comes with a foam pad.  You'll need to order a hand pad for the Revive and the sealant.  Use different pads for each step.

 

In fact - most of us mark our pads for the product used.

That's what you should use to apply Revive, since they don't have the hex pads anymore..

 

For QS, get either the Americana hex pad or the UFO style pad that comes with Anericana now.
