So when I picked up my new Jeep yesterday I made sure the dealer did NOT wash it before I took delivery. It literally just came off the truck on Friday the 13th and was ordered for me so it was definitely not touched, had a full coating of dust/dirt/whatever on it from shipping via train from Ohio to California. The conditions for the wash were dark outside (7pm couldn't do it earlier) and about 50 degrees. I used 2 bucket method with warmish water and the wash solution was Dodo BTBM and ONR for extra lubricity because I had no idea what might be on the vehicle.
When I was done carefully washing and drying I was walking around the vehicle with my maglite checking for any issues that were hidden by dirt and I noticed a few spots where it wasn't clean. Something seemed to really be on there good and it took a little work with some QD strength ONR and a cloth to get it off. I'm surprised the wash solution didn't get it, but maybe I just noticed it because of the bright maglite? What do you guys think I ran into?
It looked just like a smudge but it didn't want to come off easily. The spots were on the doors. One was in the middle, and the other I noticed was on the edge of the driver door above the handle. I'm just trying to figure out if there was something weird on the paint, or just because it was so cold something that might normally have washed right off was being stubborn.
