Drips from parking garage

[echang2]

Hi,

 

I parked in a hotel parking garage for a few days and something dripped onto the car. I was able to get most of it off the car, but I can't seem to remove this part. Whatever this stuff is, it's hard to get out. I had it on the plastic which took some elbow grease, but I got it out. I had to use a razor blade to remove this stuff from the glass. I don't know what to do about the drips on the paint itself. Any thoughts?

 

 

Thanks,

Ed

Clay bar might get it off, but you might need something more aggresive like SHR. It's hard to tell from the picture what it is. Do you own a PC?

I need to get the clay bar and a PC. Just haven't had time do to that yet. I have the SHR. Should I try that by hand? Or clay bar first and then SHR? I don't think a PC can reach that spot.

 

Would a better picture help?

Do you have a wider angle photo, it's just kind of hard to tell what we are looking at ?

[echang2]

Better?

Are those painted ?

[echang2]

Painted? Lots of pollen got on the car since I washed it this morning.

 

The drip is that one big spot.

Hmm thats a hard one.

It kind of looks like something ate through the pain down to the plastic :help::help:

 

 

Does some it actually come off ?

Yea, I think was able to get some of it off the paint. I was able to remove it from the glass with a razor and from the plastic trim using the wash pad. There was some on another part of the hood, but it wasn't as much.

I'd try the clay and then SHR by hand but that stuff looks kind of nasty. Not sure if that will get it done, lets see what some of the Detail Advisers have to say :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I'm leaving town on Monday for three weeks, so I'm going to have to go get some clay bar from a local shop this weekend. I have the SHR and will try that after using the clay bar. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try that unless other detail advisers have a better idea.

Good luck with that, keep us posted :xfingers:

Glad to hear....I'd stop parking in that garage:thumbsup:
