wax?glue? I dont know but I cant remove (pics inside)

[deathlok]

I tried so far



1)clay

2)WD40

3) degreaser

5) Autoglym intensive tar remover

6) Polish by hand with 1z metalic polish and Autoglym super resin polish



No improvement at all





Here what I try to remove

Any suggestions? (It has bonded to the metal surface )

Heat gun and a teflon scraper. Carefully. Very carefully.

I see...



did I mention that the car is new



Any suggestion in what kind of shop I can find a teflon scraper?

 

[KnuckleBuckett]

Usually you can pbtain these very inexpensively at a professional paint shop. Also a cooking/ chefs outlet will have them. You could also use any firm soft heat resistant mateial. Silicone comes to mind as well.



You are warming the glue. Not. I repeat not. Burning, altering or melting the paint. Just like removing a dealer sticker, bumper sticker or business sticker. Your job is alot harder because it is minus a convenient sticker with which to latch onto.

Is it clear coat failure? Or a doublelayer of poorly applied clearcot? RANDAL

That's what it looks like to me. It looks like clearcoat failure. I would take it to a professional body shop just to have it looked at and confirm.

You have been mislead by the photos. It has nothing to do with the clear coat.

1) the car is new never buffed by anyone

2) the white thing (that you assume that it is clear coat failure) it is over the paint. (It has form an extra layer over the clearcoat)



I definitely can distinguish a clear coat failure + I touch it you can't

Possible leftover glue from transit protection. Maybe still including the vinyl. Can you pick it with your finger? The pics do look like it is lower than the paint.



If it is any sort of adhesive or decal, try some heat and then a mild solvent with a plastic razor to scrap.

It is to tough to pick it up with my nail (at least without heating it up). The stain is above the paint despite what it seems in the photos.



I just buy a teflon scraper heat i t up and try to remove it.

A product called Oil Flo will dissolve that glue without trouble.

I live in Greece so Oil Flo is not an option. Is there any similar from sonax Meguias Autoglym? Or from a paint shop? It is any kind of thinner?

If you can get 3M Adhesive Remover that is also excellent.

I had close to the same problem with my honda. When I bought it, it was only drips of glue, that was turning a hideous color of yellow. All I used was a general adhesive remover, hot water and a scrub brush. Good luck with it though, the pictures were a bit difficult to discern.
