"i was driving on the fwy and the cement debre splashed all over my car particularly the front of the vehicle! now i have black dots around my bumper and hood... is there any way to get these out it looks like debre from the assfault.......i tried buffing it with a light compound but it wouldnt come out i also tried wiping it down with gas



i tried everything but goo gone it seems like its deep in ...its stuck to the front and its sad cuz the car isnt a month old =( thanks for the advice though i will try goo gone and dw 40 i used a clay compound to buff but didnt work"
 
AHH GASOLINE!! please don't ever do that again. try washign it first with a good car wash soap then claying the affected area and from what it sounds like, might as well do the entire car. and what type of surface is it? painted? clear coat? chrome? aluminum? rubber trim? plastic?
 
Heh heh, [insert snarky wisecrack about the BMW driver's spelling here] :p Sorry, couldn't resist :o



See if he can be more specific- "concrete debris" wouldn't be black since concrete isn't black in color; if it's asphalt debris it oughta be soluble in tar remover; and "a clay compound to buff" leaves me a little :confused: I'm guessing that he got tar, maybe the stuff they use for sealing cracks, on his car. If it baked in it might be sorta tenacious but with luck it won't have stained the paint irreparably.



Between solvents and clay I would expect the stuff to come off. Buffing with a compound oughta remove paint so that should've fixed it too. A paint cleaner such as Meguiar's Deep Crystal Step #1 might be worth a try and it's not that hard to find. I'd try clay, tar remover (3M Adhesive Remover would be my first choice or maybe Wurth Clean Solv), paint cleaner, compound in that order but I wouldn't resort to the compound until I'd tried a few different solvents and paint cleaners.
