Okay so I garage the car in the winter and I'm guessing the last time I took the car out I ran over something that caused splatters all over my passenger side (lower half). Anyway, I went to wash my car for the first time today and noticed something that looked like rust. I freaked out thinking my car started rusting but then when I took my finger to see it peeled off with some pressure so I was relieved. However, when I wet the area and scrub very hard it does NOTHING. I have to peel/scrape it off and it would take way to much time and care to do that realistically, and taking a chance on ruining the paint.

I have NO IDEA what this stuff is....maybe road tar? but its not black, its rust color....


anyone have any ideas on how to get this shit off? :dunno: :wtc:

P.S.- Tried a clay bar and it didnt do shit

got any pics I had something like this is was from being in body shop and having people grind and shoot small flakes of metal at my car... it made the paint speckled and I couldnt ever get it off

well if its road tar i had a similar problem and WD40 worked to take it off. You could also use paint thinner, but i dont suggest that. My uncle owns a detail shop and thats what he uses to get road debris off but im not comfortable doing it myself.

try some goo gone

try some peanut butter too, peanut butter takes off tar and other stuff so give that a shot

You can also try gasoline. Put a little bit on a cloth and rub it on the spot. Don't put too much though.
