Bad stain help?
I parked my car under a tree and didn't wash my car for 2 weeks. I washed my car last night thinking it would come out but it isn't. I proceeded to clay bar the shit out of it but it is very ineffective. I also used my fingernail to scratch the shit out of it but that doesn't work either! What should I do, without having to buy a buffer?
the first pic is the biggest stain, which is the one I beat the crap out of.

Start simple.
Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. You can buy it almost anywhere (CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart, etc) at 70% dilution. Spray on, wipe off. See if it improves it at all. If that doesn't work then I'd go to polish, even by hand, a mildly abrasive polish might be enough to cut whatever that is off the surface. |

What bothers me more are those swirls in the last pic. Man I have been spending too much time on this forum.

Good advice. I would also recommend Goo Gone even before polish. However if polish doesn't take it out, as a last resort, wetsanding with 2500 grit, but if there is any anixity about wetsanding, don't do it and definately don't do it unless you have a DA polisher (Flex or PC) to fix the damage from wetsanding. Good luck and keep us posted.

Adams Revive hand polish FTW!
I had nasty deposits on my bumper That Claybar just would not take out. A little revive and poof… Gone! Just remember to seal and/or wax after.

Glad it worked!
Now it's time to polish what's left over and get that paint back to perfect! |

Hence the suggestion to not even attempt unless you have polisher an as a last resort. I've gotten 2000 grit marks out with Adam's SSHR, SHR & FMP with no visible trace in the past on my 68.
