Setec, Do you think that the ONR Mineral Deposit Remover is really strong enough to cut this crud? I had thought about using a white vinegar solution to see what effect it had. White vinegar has worked for me to remove mineral water spots on black vehicles I'd follow up with a polish or...

Rasky, Thanks for taking a look at the "mess" and offering a suggestion for fixing it. It do have a variety of compounds, polishes and pads for a pc. I could haul up my rotary but that probably would be overkill. Tom

Pics of the damage. It looks worse than I thought. My daughter said that with some hard rubbing (microfiber cloth) using bug and tar remover she was able to remove some of it. Could it actually be pigeon poop? That's what she first thought.

My daughter called and asked how to remove a bunch of pigeon droppings on her Subaru. I suggested that she try the usual Autogeek recommendations. They didn't work. She also tried some bug and tar remover. That didn't work either. Her car was parked in an older underground garage. She might...

Thanks for the suggestions. Any problems with exhaust fumes from having the turn down under the bed of the truck. If you don't drive on dusty roads you may not have this problem.

I had to use compound numerous times on both the 2005 and 2012 Tacomas. Because the stain is only on the surface of the paint, I was able to stop using the compound before I hit the surface of the finish. No paint damage. The stain is almost like a "ceramic" coating on the surface. Dust mixed...

No pics right now. It's all cleaned up.

Thought some about trying that. I'm a little concerned that heat might be a problem with the adhesive getting messed up. How hard are the bras to remove? The truck is garaged every night and I'm thinking about keeping a bucket of ONR mix ready to use on the fender after every winter drive.

This has been an ongoing problem on all three of my wife's white Gen 2 Tacomas (2005, 2011 and 2015). We live on a gravel road and every winter we end up with a gritty stain on the fender above the exhaust pipe. I think that it is a mixture of exhaust condensation and dust. After ten years you...

If you spray the car with Meguiar's Wash and Wax Anywhere (or a like product) before drying you shouldn't instill much micro-marring or scratches as you dry. Spray and dry one panel at a time using a very absorbent towel for the first pass and then follow up with a microfiber polishing cloth...

You really need to use the coin-op soap. It may remove some wax, but it won't hurt the paint. If the temperature is above freezing use several high quality towels to dry as many panels as your can. If you have the time, apply something like Meguiar's Wash and Wax Anywhere to the wet vehicle one...

Just sayin'. No way would I even think about doing a rinseless or waterless wash on a salt caked, muddy or totally grungy car or truck. I think that it's pain in the butt to go through all the hassle while at the same time possibly putting in some nasty marring in your car's finish. Besides...

For what it's worth. I've been washing and waxing cars and trucks for over 55 years. Accept that winter in the northern U.S. sucks and don't do anything to your car or truck unless the temperature is above freezing. Typically when the temperature is 35-40, I'll head to the coin-op to get the...

Thanks for the replies. Think I'll stick with the ONR Wash and Wax.

I need to purchase another bottle of rinseless wash. Most recently I have been using ONR Wash and Wax and like the results. Is this still a good choice? I do not wish to purchase anything that comes only in larges quantities. As it is, a 32 ounce bottle of ONR lasts me for over a year. (In...

I had the same thing happen on a black Ford Expedition...only water marks and leaf imprints. Did all that same stuff you did...several times. My insurance company agreed to fix it. First a body shop tried carefully wet sanding. compounding, and polishing. They said it looked great. However...

I have found that scratches like this are "forever". Mess with it too much and all you will do is make it worse. Sorry.
