Exhaust Fumes DAMAGED Pain

Ultimate Compound and a Dual Action Polisher. Doing it by hand probably isn't going to cut it.

 

Is it running RICH because too much air sucked in? I installed the K&N filter about 3000 miles ago. Would that be the culprit?

 

claybars wear out your paint.

use acid on that dirt, it will come right off. by acid I mean vinegar. rinse it off afterward

 

No, trucks prolly running fine. Just a by-product of exhaust.

 

Clay bars don't wear out your paint if you do it right.

It's not dirt on his paint, it's particulates from unburnt fuel. You may have to try several different products to get results depending on how long As it can permanently stain. Try simple first like scratch-X, then a clay bar followed by wax, if neither doesn't get it grab a polishing compound as it's more abrasive, then apply a sealant and then wax for protection.

 

I have always been able to remove a good portion of this stuff with a clay bar. Keep folding the bar to expose a fresh area often. Clay bar is the best way to clean surface contaminants off the paint. At least initially. It isnt really abbrassive compared to rubbing comp. So its always my first step

 

a good orbital polisher and some very fine compound should take that right off. I let mud stay on my truck for well over 2 weeks and it stained the paint. Washing by hand did nothing. Orbital and wax after squeaky clean.
