Colin747 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I have this weird mark on my paint just below the drivers window and I'm not sure what it is. It doesn't seem to be coming off with washing/hand polishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMetal Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Me too It's the plastic/rubber rotting i'd guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 If that's the window seal, get a clay bar on there and it should come right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin747 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 If that's the window seal, get a clay bar on there and it should come right off. It's the metal part of the door just below the seal I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Is it above or below the clear coat? Can you feel it on the surface with the tip of your finger nail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 It's very hard rubber if I recall. I had some heavy crud built up on mine. 2 mins with a magic sponge shifted it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the metal part of the door just below the seal I think As abve it's either hard rubber or plastic, so clay bar or magic sponge will remove it; you just need something abrasive to lift it.

So before I do something stupid, when you say a magic sponge do you mean this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Cleaning-Scourers-Sponges/Magic-Eraser-Chemical-Free-Stain-Mark-Removal/B003QITQC6 I'll have a go with a clay bar first and see how it fares. Thanks for your help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help guys. I've got some of them in my house always wondered what they were, they just disintegrate when ever I've tried to use them on the dishes as for magic sponges, this is the only one i'm aware off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im bit so sure its clearcoat in the strictest sense but its something forming a top layer if memory serves.

Colin747 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Sorry guys i've gotten completely sidetracked the last couple of weeks, will try tonight to use some clay to see if I can remove it. Might pick up some of those sponge things from Tesco as well just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
