i got these f..ing berry stains on my paint and i couldnt get them off with just washing the car . . . any suggestions . . . will wax get them off?? im hoping so cause they really **** me off . . . . i need some help please!!!!!

 

I got a similar problem with dead bugs stains on my front bumper!
I'm not sure what kind of bugs they are, but they really stain the paint with blood

 

A good cleaner polish should do the trick. Try 3M Cleaner wax, it works really well...but you will have to wax the area afterwards beacuse I think it is only a cleaner.

 

im hoping so . . im gonna take care of it after work cause i hate that **** on there . .

 

I posted earlier reply to thread, but I think I got "dropped" when I got connected today

That said.....

As long as 3M cleaner product is a pure cleaner product with no wax in it, try that first. Do not use any kind of product that claims to be a cleaner and wax in one - the last thing you want to do is use anything with wax in it when you're trying to clean your paint finish.

If that fails, try isopropyl / rubbing alcohol dabbed on a 100% cotton cloth (like a clean old white t shirt) and lightly rub just the spots where the berry junk is. This is what I use to take off tree sap. 3M Adhesive Cleaner may also be a good choice here. Check out www.griotsgarage.com if you can't find it locally.

Last but not least if all else fails, pick up a clay paint cleansing kit. Mother's has a pretty good kit in Autozone / PepBoys. You spray a lubricant solution on the paint then gently rub a clay like material across the surface. It removes grit and all kinds of junk you can't see but can feel on the paint.

Naturally, all of the above will remove any wax on the finish, so apply only in the trouble spots.

Good luck,

Try a clay bar?

Maybe a cleaner wax...

Possibly some goo-gone?


note sure....

 

i had that problem with the bugs all i did was put some 3m wax remover on them let it sit and doused it with more then i took my pressure washer to them and they came right off i had tried everything before but now i do that and it works well, i swear by it now

 

i'd try a clay bar. that takes up alot of good stuff. i use it on a monthly basis. suprising how much stuff it will pick up, even after washing a car. then i'd go with a cleaner wax like zymol. uhm if that doesn't work, u might want to try a detailing or a body shop. they can probably buff it out

 

I know it's an old thread, but I spray painted the metal stuff that holds our stock grill in place since I swapped it with an RRM Evo grill. I spray painted it black, and i left some on the bumper :. Will it take off spray paint too ?
