Tyre Black Spat Up Onto Body?

[HairyMerkin]

So long story short, what I'm 90% sure is tyre black, has splashed from the wheel onto the body. I think from driving it to early?

It's been on there for a few washes, and hasn't budged yet.

How do I get rid of it?

The only time I've heard or seen of tyre rubber getting splattered onto the body of a car is when you're doing massive burnouts. If the super-hot rubber has bitten into your paint that you may have to get that area resprayed, however, if it's not as bad you can try one of the following methods:

1. Go and buy a bottle of Turtle's Super Claybar from Repco or Autobarn and use this to rub off the particles on your car AFTER a good car wash - it should come off. Then just wash your car again and it should look normal again and follow it up with a wax job if you want it to shine as new.

2. If you're lazy and want to save some money, go to your kitchen and get some MorningFresh dishwashing detergent and mix it up with some water and washing powder, e.g. Omo washing powder, shake the mixture up well and then with a soft cloth, try to remove the particles off your car and follow it up with a good car wash.

I think there is a good chance you can remove these particles. Give it a go and let me know how you go.

Good luck.

Another consideration...

You're from Leeton & it's been pretty hot there with the tarmac melting in parts.

Could it also be tar residue?

If so, one of the mods has recommended Turtle Spray-on Tar & Bug Remover. It does remove wax however.

That makes sense, I'll get some tar remover tonight.

Do you mean tar or do you mean tyre shine from the tyres? Either way just use some pre wax cleaner/tar remover/wax and grease remover and it'll get it off.

I got some tar residue on my car a week ago, due to the hot weather, the road was melting lol.

But I got it off pretty easily with some polish, maybe that's coz I cleaned it straight away, I'm not sure.
