Will a clay bar fix this spotting I have all over my front and rear bumpers?

This car was just washed last night, and these spots didn't budge.

Any advise would help. Thanks.

It may help. Are they just dirt spots on the surface? If so, clay bar should help. Just get some detailer spray and a clay bar and you're good to go.

Yes sir, it will take it right off. Clay is some amazing stuff.

It's not dirt, I can't really feel it. I bought the Meguiar's smooth surface clay kit. I'll see what it does over the weekend. Thanks!

yea i have kinda the same problem... i get little white spots on my trunk every now and then... the clay bar will work on those spots... if you have a high speed buffer, some rubbing compound on a wool pad will work wonders. just have to put some swirl remover on a foam pad and wax it after you buff. good luck

Definitely just working with elbow grease. I'll take a stab at the clay tomorrow and take some pics when it's all done. Again, thanks so much. Always people willing to help here.

mine is doing the same stuff. let us know how it came out.

The clay didn't do much for it but a good polish took it right off. I didn't have time to take pics yet tho.

Eh since were on the subject of fixing things, what will fix this? My friend backed into my car the other day.

I washed it and that's what was left. It doesn't really seem scratched to bad, just more like the white paint from his car got stuck on mine.. is there anything I can do to buff it out?

^^^ rubbing compound

boorahdurukan · 09-08-2009, 11:25 PM

Yap^ Rubbing compound, followed by some polish, then some wax.

High speed buffer foam pad try scratch x.

soft scrub works great too! try it on the brown spots. I use it all the time. takes bugs off too.

Yes claybar will work! That is known as rail dust..I would recomend using some spray wax and using the clay bar to take it off. Make sure you keep folding the claybar.. Water will work but Spray Wax acts more like the KY and helps slide better and not stick where it doesn't leave that dull residue. Just my 2 cents lol
