Need Help! How to remove stain on bumper.

**Javoy** · December 8th, 2007 05:28 PM

Hi! I need some help! I noticed a couple of days ago that there were some stains on my bumper. I thought it came from road tar or something like that. I tried to remove it using cleaner wax but it did not work.

Today, I brought it in for wash/wax/seal and they used kerosene to try and clean it up but to no avail... The car wash boy told me that this was caused by the oil from the tire dressing that I had used and could no longer be removed. May pag-asa pa kaya?

Thanks for the reply. Already brought it to BB's, they were not able to remove it. I have also tried clay but it did not work. Will try rubbing compound next...

easy lang sa rubbing remember its thins your clear coating and maybe the paint

tingin ko kinain na ng substance ang clear coat mo so pumasok na yan at umabot sa paint mismo kaya di matanggal..

Thanks for the warning... will make sure to use it sparingly. Malakas ang loob ko kasi sa bumper lang naman.

If that's the case, wala na bang solution except to have the bumper repainted?

Have it assessed first. If it's a paint defect take it for warranty repair. If it's something harsh like paint stripper or something then only way is to repaint that spot. Lastly, I took a look at the pic but did not see anything wrong with it. Maybe a larger size pic would help? That way we know what we're dealing with.

For oil dressing from the tire I simply use "soft" products like paint cleaner. When I accidentally sprayed some degreaser on the paint it slightly made some visible marks. Paint cleaner took it off immediately. Hopefully yours is still fresh...otherwise it may have eaten through the paint like somebody mentioned.

Hi mbeige, I don't think it's a paint defect, it was not there when I got the vehicle. I tend to agree with the info I received that it was caused by the oils from the tire dressing. Anyway, will also check with the dealer when I get the chance. Sorry about the pic, here's another version.
