Fuel stain on new car

[AV8R]

2014 Kia Forte in bright silver. Has a slight stain on the lower DS front bumper cover from pre-mix (oil and gas) dripping out of a weed trimmer. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

Try washing the area with hot water and dawn dish soap if it haven't been there long it should come off if not try a polishing the area or wet sanding

do not wet sand if you can not compound and polish afterward

It's an area that can be compounded easily. It was originally cleaned up with Acryliclear and then washed with car soap. I hope it hasn't stained the clear permanently as it's on a flexible panel so I'm assuming they shot it with a more flexible paint/clear than is used on the steel panels....that stuff stains much easier as it doesn't harden like the other paint....ugh.

205 and then 105 really gave no result. The clear must be stained. Any other ideas?

Sorry no suggestions, but love your rotti.

Not sure how much difference scratch x is from 105 but maybe give that a shot

this may sound crazy but try wd-40 a graffiti remover if that fails then you will need to repaint area
