peppered paint - help needed!

[LegoHead]

I dont know what is on my paintwork, I thought it was tar, so got Autoglym tar remover. I didnt get alot of this off, but using my fingernail, managed to pick it off. So I know its on the surface.

It looks like pepper, black on the surface and when removing is brown like treacle underneath.

Has anyone else had experience with this, I dont want to scrub too hard, and ruin the finish, but it does need a good scrub to remove properly.

Thanks in advance,

David.

Is there anything stronger than autoglym, apart from industrial strength. Need something tough yet kind to the paint.

Yep that is tar albeit baked on tar, try using a polish to remove the heads of the tar spots before applying ag tar remover. ALternativly use a clay bar followed by ag tar remover.

youll be needing some clay to get that off.

yep, read the other post, bought my clay from ebay five minutes ago. Thanks for the help though. I was told by a renault guy that it can come from the rear wiper. I do notice there is loads more tar below the rear wiper than anywhere else.

I have been given some t-cut which seems to be taking abit off. Then ill use clay when it turns up.

Cheers!
