Detailing car question

It seems that I have a small amount of black and brown that rubbed off from my girls high heels. I believe she rubbed her heels when entering and exiting the passenger side of my vehicle.

I just noticed it today. My car is peal white, what can I use to remove this?

Thank you.

Try a dry rag first... if that doesn't work a little bit of car wax will take that right off. I have the same car... ;-) Happens a lot.

In fear of getting flamed, I used to use nail polish remover, will not attack the clear coat --

I use Lexol Conditioner and Cleaner. Two separate spray bottles, but it has been great and easy to work with. The only gripe I have is that the cleaner has a very strong chemical smell to it, so do it with the windows down in an open area. The smell should go away in about a day. You'll also need some microfiber towels, a brush, and a vacuum.

There are better products out there, but of course, with higher expenses. The important part is that you use a cleaner and conditioner in conjunction with each other. Cleaner first then condition after.

I'll have to look into Lexol. My friend mentioned Chemical Guys. Has anyone tried them or has their own favorite?

Chemical Guys is a highly recommended name in the detailing world. Many swear by it. Have personally never used their products since I like to purchase my things in the store in case I run out and need to get product immediately, so my go-to is Meguiar's and they are also a well-established name. Meguiar's also sells their stuff by the gallons. Check out the AutoGeek forums and their website for recommendations and package deals for detailing products.

I bet WD40 sprayed on a rubbed with a soft cloth would get rid of those black marks.
