APC for paint?

[JeffM]

I have a worktruck that is neglected pretty much all together.

I washed it a week or so ago, and it has some funky stuff around trim and mouldings on the roof and around the windows.

It is very neglected, did i mention that?

Anyways, i used up a whole clay bar on it, and the on the white paint was covered in dirt, even after washing, so i washed again.

The funky stuff is still there, so i was wondering if megs makes like a APC for paint that i can let soak or dwell alittle?

Hi Jeff,

Do you know what the substance is that is on the paint? Is it grease, tar, etc...?

If it is grease, road grime or tar, I would suggest Meguiar's Body Solvent D-13001. It is designed to sprayed on to the surface , allowed to soak, and then wiped-off.

Body Solvent

You could also use a paint cleaner, like ColorX. It will help to remove the grime and then go back and polish/buff like normal.

Just some ideas...

Its kinda greenish, maybe like really old pollen, and dirt.

I have cleaned the paint, but i cant get every nook and cranny cleaned without a tooth brush and simple green. It is under little lips like on moldings and whatnot.

And i dont feel the love with this truck that much.

Its a 2001 with only 13k miles on it too, but it is outside all day, and it takes a bretty bad beating hahaha.

Maybe a future subject for rotary practice

Body solvent sounds like a great product.

A person could use this stuff to help remove stuck-on contaminates around the lower parts, and at the front end to help save on claying time.
