hey guys, right now i'm working on an engine swap and basically refreshing every part i can on my mazda. as you can see in the pics, it seems that an underbody coating was applied to my car and a bit of overspray occured in my bay. it is in pretty random places, but make for eye sores nevertheless. i thought i could try a crude aproach with some carb cleaner. it worked very well, but i didn't appreciate the amount of paint that came off as well. do you guys have any specific product in mind that might help me out? also, i'm looking for the best trim restore product out there as well. thanks for the guidance. :)
 
Using carb cleaner is a good way to remove paint. Not a good way to remove that black stuff. Try full on nondiluted Simple Green and see what that does. It may just take a sponge with a scratcher pad on the back and a lot of elbow grease. Its going to look a lot better than it does now regardless.

I've heard that Poorboy's has a great trim and molding renewer. I can't remember the name of it, but if you go to www.poorboysworld.com then you'll be able to find it. Post in his sponsor forum down below and ask Poorboy about it. I've heard it is just really great stuff.
 
hehe, yeah it is quite bad looking as of right now. i did actually try some non-diluted simple green and it didn't seem to touch it. anybody have any other ideas? thanks for the suggestion on the trim restore. i'm going to have to check it out.
