Hello, I work for a local Transport company, detailing the trucks, keeping them all clean, polished waxed ect ect. I am pretty confident with my skills, BUT I had a little mess up on one of the rigs... Here is the story.
The fleet has a Mack granite, which has been heavily modified, the full bucket of it (was a dump truck) was taken off the back, and instead it has been modified to haul a large trailer. BUT this had led to some complications.
-The bucket on the back used to prevent axle grease from the drive shaft from splashing all over the back of the cab, now that it has been removed, it gets all over the dam thing... AND this stuff is tough. You rub it off, it smudges all over the place. (This problem has since been solved by the installation of a rubber guard, but the story goes on).
I came across getting this stuff off, and I came to the conclusion of a parts cleaner, slightly diluted. BUT the owner insisted I try some rubbing compound(turtle wax)....
SO I did it his way, and it so ever lightly scuffed up the clear coat, only noticable from certain angles, but it did it.......(got all the axle grease off with ease though)...
SO now my problem is fixing it. I need a product available to me in retail stores in Canada, I am going to try some Sonus SFX 2(I have some left over which I use on my car) on it first, then if I have to , wet sand the back, is their any other suggestions you guys could possibly think of to try out on this ?
