Hi guys,

I have some kind of acidic paint or some sticky substance that fell on my car when i parked it in an underground parking lot. I guess it some kind of white residue that fell thru from an overhead pipe on portions of my hood. It comes off if I use some my nail to scratch if off and I can damage the paint in doing that. I am including a pic and hopefully someone can give me suggestions as to how I can get em off .................thanks

Try rubbing alcohol.

 

use wd-40

 

If you use wd-40, be sure to have a wet soapy rag ready to clean the surface after you apply wd or you can ruin your paint.
Try alcohol first, then WD. Just my .02

 

Goo Gone....

 

desil fuel will work good and wont hurt the finish. a guy at the bmw shop told me that one for bugs and tar and stuff and it works. thats what they use

 

I tried alcohol swabs .. and it didnt work.

I m gonna try ur other suggestions tommorow. Lets hope it works. The marks are not soo much sticky, jus dry and white and very hard to come off ;-(

 

This stuff is usually the lime that is used when they pour the concrete. Try a little compound and then wax.
