OMG Grass Stains all over my CAR

Ok, so I park today in my assigned parking spot for school, and upon leaving school, my friend points out to me look at the front of your car. I go over, and the gardners cut all the grass right onto my car, and the grass was baking in the sun all day. So, I do not know why they hired the gardners on a weekday instead of a weekend, but anyhow I come home and I wash it down as much as I could. Then, I made a bucket full of water and car wash soap and apply it to the car. I then do I final rinse from the hose and dry the car. Well what do you know, I have a black 03 Cl-S and their are these whitish stains where all the grass was, but you have to look fairly close to see it. It's all over the hood and front of the car and I dont know how to get it off. Any suggestions? Thanks

Yes that seems to happen here in FL. Happend a few times at my job. A clay bar should work to take the stains out.

I just noticed you were from Boca Raton, how old are you? I come down there once in a while, to see one of my best friends.

Ah bro I've got some Miguire's Clay bar. That should do the trick. First off try some Dawn dish washing soap first. The car was soap that u used just isn't aggressive enough to get that crap out. Also once u use the Dawn soap ur gonna need to apply a coat of wax, cause the Dawn will strip off any wax that u already have on there. Although it seems to me that u don't have any wax on the car to begin with, cause if u did any stains that did appear would have been easily taken off already.

PM me if u need a hand or any more help with this.

JasonT could help u out but he's too busy chasin tail and getting laid .

Hey Juker, the car is 2 months old, 2 months ago it came from the dealer waxed and everything. I guess the grass just overcame the wax or something. Im gonna forget the dawn soap and buy a clay bar. Where can I buy a clay bar only without the Meguiar whole washing kit.

The stains maybe just have to be pushed off hard by me, but otherwise where can I get only a clay bar, and how long does this process take?

Unfortunatly the wax that the dealer uses is $hit. U can get a clay bar from Discount Auto Parts. I can't remember the price. The process is really quick. $hit if u want, if ur ever in the S. WPB area send me a PM and we could do it.

Pinicale. I've used that for the life of my car and I will say that this suff is the $hit. I waxed it 5 weeks ago and with all the rain that we've been havign here in Fla. , the thing just shines. The wax is tough. With all the HW driving that I go through I have only a few minior paint chips on the hood. But I can recall driving behind a couple of construction trucks on the Free Way, and just hearing all the debris that came flying from the rear of that truck. Also the leather conditioner is the best conditioner that I have ever seen, NOT greasy, and a deep luster in the leather.

Ok, so I went to wash my car using Zymol Car Wash, which I normally use. I dry it and of course, the grass stains are still there. So, I had to spend 30 minutes, using Turtle Wax Polishing Compound, and I got the stains off. It was a pain in the butt. Im gonna order some Zaino soon
