Default Gas Stain! Argh!

Ok.... was filling up with gas, spilled some on teh side.... and argh! I spent an hour watering a saoping that area and its STILL THERE!!!! I even Z6'd it like no tommorow.... I cant get the stain out! u can still see it there!

Anyways, how can I remove it? Ive had this happen before but i was able to get it out.... but not its not comming off!!!

btw, i tried to remove the stain 3min after it happend so it didnt have time to settle in the paint. why's it so hard to take out???????

any help would be appreciated!

Z6 alone has no cutting abilities. Take the car home, wash it in the shade, and redo the whole panel again using Z1-Z2-Z5 and then Z6. This should take care of it.

As to why the stain didn't disappear like last time, I'm not sure. Perhaps there was some contaminant on the paint surface that caused the stain to adhere to it more than last time? How often do you Zaino/polish the car? Frequent applications should reduce staining...

Good luck!

Thanks VTEXTC, ... I actually just finished Z6-ing it before taking it to the gas station... so maybe that made it stick much longer? who knows *shrug*....

Yeah, i was thinking i'd have to go through the whole proccess again to get it back to what it was before. Im about as anal about my car as you are Asif (I think we have the lowest kms out of everyone here...lol) .... and really, u have to look at it from different angles to know there's a stain there, but it still bugs me, nonetheless!

Im probably gonna undertake a big cleaning job starting tommorow (hopefully) and hopefully finish up by saturday.... the car got rained on and need to clean inside the wheel wells, underneath the car, and inside the rim .... plus the interior.....
