hey guys, i need some help! this has been a problem for a while and its is finally buggin me a lot!

few months back i put a little too much tire shine on my tires and they flung ont eh button of the fender, i unknowingly, owning my first white car didn't know certain tire shines could tarnish the finish!! i have tried clay'ing soaps, even tougher products, is there a way to remove it other then getting the under side painted? it also only tarnished on the NON smooth area and stopped exactly once it gets tot eh crease where the paint is smooth. notice the entire part under the fender is slightly yellow with some spots that appear to be yellower



i think that its in the clearcoat, would a wetsand + polish cure this?

 

not gonna be easy-
i would first try clay...
then a light polish (swirl remover or paint cleaner)-
hopefully that would get it.
if not a more aggressive polish would be next.
if you have to go more aggressive, be sure to back down to less aggressive and then rewax the area.

 

I was just about to start a new thread about the exact same thing. This bugs the shit out of me, Ive tried a few methods with no success. Help anyone?

 

bump! we need help! do u guys think its only in the clear (if theres clear that far down) or has it penetrated to the base paint?

 

lol its funny we boht has 05 whiites.. POS tire shine!! have u tried working scratchx into it yet? ive tried it previously (althougb improlery) with no availe, im going to attempt it agian as i heard its abrasive and needs ot be worked in.

 

I have yet to try the scratch-x on it. Im kinda running out of ideas. Maybe I will try my TR3 resin glaze and see how that works out. Ill let you know!

 

nice! thanks! i have email meguirs, and waiting for a response hopefully they have expereince this and know of a way to solve it.

 

Do you have a random orbital polisher? I would just use a paint cleaner and one of those. You should be ok.
