Help, small stains on brand new paint.

Ya, that shit will scratch your paint so I'd be careful with that.

Don't get me wrong - I've used it before on something else on my vehicle and it works great, but apparently it's not good for your paint.

Clay bar or Mr. Clean?

Clay bar or Mr. Clean?

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. A quick Google search on "what not to use Magic Eraser on" will have this confirmed many times.

Clay bar is totally fine.

I have had my Bronco for three days now and I noticed that something hit the doors and it looks like something has stained my cactus gray paint. When I wiped off the debris, it left tiny dots.

I have tried to clean it with soap and water, but the stain seems to be sticking around. Does anyone have any suggestions that would be helpful?

Thanks

Rail dust?

which is kerosene, kerosene works great (just wash it off with soapy water after)

I'd much sooner use methyl hydrate

Dumb question but how do you use a clay bar? Lube (soap and water) and clay bar?

No question is dumb, I use McGuires quick detail as clay lube.

If all else fails try a Mr. Clean magic eraser.

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like it might be alright but those work magically because they are actually abrasive. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...0QFnoECBYQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3rw6FkU3-GVU6WpcrEHRW6

Goo Gone

But I always have had excellent results removing tar, paint, etc with a straight polish called Astro Shield. Applied by bare hand, let it dry, you can do whole car not just section by section

If you clay bar it, make sure you reapply some sort of polish and wax layer. Clay bar will remove everything.

Honestly, unless you know what you’re doing, I’d take it to a professional detail shop and they have the tools and the know how to make it good as new.

My Ford service department said just to bring it in. They will take care for it.

For fun ask them what they used.

Wash with soap and water. Then use 5000 grit wet sandpaper. Then swirl remover. Then wax. This method is safe as long as you don't get too carried away with pressure and time on step two. This takes care of any imperfections in the clear coat, and won't get deep enough to get into the paint. I've done this many times for light surface scratches with excellent results. If your issue is deeper than the clear coat...I'd take it to an expert.

Thanks, but I don’t trust myself with something like that. I am waiting to hear from my service department about a body shop appointment.
