Help in removing something sticky on my clearcoat paint car.

Hi,



I don't know how it got there, but at first I thought it was just some kid who spilled some coke on my car, I didn't have a chance to remove it immeditately so it sat in the hot sun all day until this evening I decided to wash to car. I used the Poorboy wash (bubble something that smells like oranges), after drying the car I notice that "spill" was still there..no problem, I moved to plan B and used this old Bug and Tar remover (about 13 years old), nothing, it was still there..I can scratch it off with my fingernails....then I moved to plan C, get the Dawn and scrub hard...nothing!! That dam spill is still there, it's not sticky anymore, kinda like it has this baked crust.



Any ideas how I can get this stuff off my car? :nixweiss



Thanks

I had some white stuff like that on my car recently...I wound up just scraping it off with my fingernail.

Goo Gone? Although it's not adhesive so it might not work. Did you dry leaving a wet towel over the spot for 10 mins and then clay it after?

I sure hope it wasn't soda, because I think the citric acid would be hell to a clearcoat.



You can try spraying the tar remover onto a cloth, then laying the cloth over the area to let it soak in. Claybar is also an option.

Just tried the soaking and nothing...I'll have to buy some clay and try Plan D
