my dealership installed my camper tie-downs reversed causing soot to deflect onto my paint.

(its worse now than in that picture). ive corrected the mount issue, but cannot get the soot off my paint. straight gasoline has worked, but not completely. any ideas?thanks,


Yeah, give the dealer the first opportunity to fix his mistake. If it won't clean off, he'll have to repaint the box most likely. What other recourse is there?

Try some real fine rubbing compound or Maguire's Scratch-X

Yup, some real light polishing compound. Be careful though, don't know how much gas you used, I'd wait some before I used anything else. One thing that will move it is Westly's white wall cleaner. Again let the paint harden up before you go after it again.

simple green if mixed too strong will remove the paint right off the truck. ask me how i know LOL

He could go see a doctor and get the "anal retentive" cured. I lead a simple life and still don't have the time to worry about such petty s*it.

Nate:

3M body solvent will take it off without damaging the paint. If any residue remains use a good paint cleaning clay.

Have you tried diesel fuel? I've used diesel on my large car sleeper to remove the same soot klumze
