i was conditioning and cleaning the inside of my car today, first time in a while, and i was using these Meguiars wipes shiet that i picked up...i was trying to take one out and all this solution on the wipe went flying, no idea where...i disregarded that and went on to clean...interior looks awesome, shine and protected, then as i was going inside, i saw what looked like water on the car...so i went to wipe it off...not water...the solution from the wipes landed on the hood and im trying to get it off but its not coming off...its caked on....anyidea what to use to get it off?...and im leaving in an hour so im not gonna be able to deal w/ it for a couple days, but hopefully it'll come off later...thanks

Maybe just water. A dab or two of detergent seems to take off that thick mud stuff that only smears when you wipe it. Alcohol may due the trick, too.

 

If nothing else seems to work well, you might want to try Meguires Paint Cleaner (They also have one called scratch remover that would work). Just work it in and buff it off. Wax should be used afterwards.

Talk about stuff that doesn't want to come out... I have a large pine tree at the house that insists on dropping sap on my car, and that stuff is close to impossible to remove. A Nissan body shop recommended WD40 to remove it and then wax over the area. WD40 actually works very well and has not harmed the finish. I just bought a Turtle Wax product called "Bug and Tar Remover" that seems to work even better than the WD40. I usually dont put a lot of confidence in bug and tar removers, but this one actually works awesome!

Good luck!
