i got off work '24hr shift" went to my car and i noticed what seems to be red dust all over my car then i came closer and i'm pretty sure it's brake fluid that was sprayed on the car, it was dry when i tried to wash it didn't come all the way out but i was close and now my clear coat seems to be stripped 'dull where the drops were' what can i do to save my paint or it's too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

com'on guys

 

Wow, that s*cks. I have 2 suggestions. First, a clay bar might remove the remaining residue. Next, you could try a polish to see if it will make the dull spots shine. Then wax.

Pics would be helpful, too.....

 

clay bars aren't available around here and what polish you think i should use

 

What polishes are available around you?
If a good polish doesn't bring the shine back, use some compound, then polish & wax.

 

i'll try that tomorrow also the paint isn't smooth anymore should i start with the compound right away then or what???

 

You could order clay bars online, but if you're in a hurry try the polish for now. Doesn't sound like there is much available to you locally, which I understand. I get 95% of my detail stuff online. The polishes I use are the Menzerna IP and FP, Megs #83 and the Poorboys line.

In a pinch you could try any of the OTC stuff. They are mostly all cleaner/polish type things. If those don't work, carefully try a polishing compound.

 

there is mother's , tc1,autosole and body magic red clay bar which one should i get thnx 4 ur help guys

 

You might want to start with the polish outright and then follow it with the clay in the affected area.

 

affected area lol it's all over the car i'' try polishing tomorrow but which clay bar should i use

 

good luck' but sorry 2 say that if it was brake fluid your paint/clearcoat is eaten away.Brake fluid dot 3/4 is highly corrosive to paint.

 

i had that kinda exp ones b4.. sorry to tell u da truth... i can't get them off no matter clay or polish..... (i was stupid enough to put the brake fluide's net on my engine couver... so the color became lighter...)
maybe call insurence for a new paint job...

 

Try Goo_gone 1st... then wash, clay,polish and wax. I had that done to my old car and i did that and it looked Alot better

 

i wet sanded the car to get all the particles and crap off the car then i used 3m rubbing compound which seems to work very well and i'm planning on using 3m swirl remover right after but it's taking me forever because i'm doing it BY HANDno access no a buffer

 

Damn dude, I really hope you took some comparision before shots of the car.

 

sorry to hear, i hate when fuuckers toy around with other people's car. i was in class and my car got keyed TWICE and someone wrote "RACE ME!" with their finger on the back of my car when it was dirty...

 

i have not taken pics yet but i haven't done the bumper either so i'll take pics of that ,,,however when i used the rubbing compound i used a medium cut now the swirl remover can't take some of the swirls off which leads me to think that i need light cut which isn't available where i am any solutions you guys have !!!! oh and by the way turtle wax swirl remover fu<kin' rules

 

3M perfect it 2 or three. (fine cut) and then post back

 

i looked for it in napa and couldn't find it ,, i'll kep lookin'
