Finally Back and Running!

Sup guys, Recently shipped my car back to my country and had a barrage of problems and got a new tune. After 6 months of waiting its finally good to go . Wanna share some pics and need your help on how to remove these particles above the two front tires that just wont go and not ruin the paint at the same time.







Tried soap and water.. not doin the trick. Suggestions?

Use that nascar wax. Its in a can and should do the trick. Get some fiber cloths too. Spray it on, wait 30 sec, then wipe It off

Good job on getting the car back up and running. What the poster above me said should work. Try that.

Go to the parts store and buy a claybar kit. Wash it, claybar it, wax it. you might have to spend some time to get all that out, or clay it a few times. It should get rid of most if not all of that, plus it will make your paint super smooth.

I would spray a degreaser spray on a rag and wipe. Afterwards just re wax it.

Car looks good
