the problem is on my car even though all the tire marks and tar are gone, you can still see the damage to the bra, it got scratched. Not sure if I can buff it off.

Car is on the body shop right now getting the ''clown'' out of it, and spraying ''clear bra'' on the front grill.
New material from BASF, a permeant clear bra, let's see if it can resist the track.

TRAKCAR

Yes, protection is #1, pretty #2. With my abuse I could not do without (good) clear bra, or I would have to respray the car annually and that might lead buyers to think might have been in an accident. I want to keep the paint virgin just for that reason.

Can you BASF my new grilles, get them from Orbit? Or have it done at Orbit?

M3EvoBR

Can't be done there, they need to go to the booth. I can get them from Orbit and bring it back.

Peter, were you not able to get all the black marks off?

TRAKCAR

Can you call Rodger and make it happen?
You are starting to become my personal car care concierge, time for Sushi soon ;-)

TRAKCAR

Not entirely, see pics, I know hard to tell.
I tried 70% rubbing alcohol, will try 90%.

LVDell

I use Mequiars Cleaner Wax and it works like a champ. Maybe give that a try?

M3EvoBR

Don't worry you always help me out. That's what friends are for. I'll talk to him.

I have always been able to get out all tire marks with TTR from Premier. The ONLY exception has been a long black horizontal stripe beneath the drivers' door - i think i tagged a fixed cone or something...not sure, but its not a tire mark. With clay and alcohol I was getting it off, but also scratching the film so I decided to leave it to the pros, but haven't bothered dealing with it yet. All tire marks just disappear with TTR.

Anyway, try TTR if you have not already.

TRAKCAR

Thanks DRL,

I have it here and tried TTR from Permier. I think this nasty stuff is supper sticky rubber mixed in with new tar they used to repave some of Sebring. Sweepers were used in between sessions!

I have the TTR stuff from Premier. It won't remove cone marks at all, just ok for tire goo. The only way I could remove cone marks is with Acetone, but films gets damaged.

I have yet to find a benign product that can remove cone marks without damaging the film.

Paint Thinner doesn't remove cone marks either, unless rubbed strongly, and will damage the film easier than Acetone due to the abrasion required to remove cone marks.

Getting rid of everything red?

M3EvoBR

Yes. I had no stickers, and now I painted everything car color. No more red accents.

I use Simple Green to get all the black marble marks off. Just wet the cloth pretty well and rub over the mark. Not hard, just an easy to soft pressure. For stubborn marks you may have to repeat a couple of times. I find it really works well even on older marble marks and it does not scratch the clear bra.
