Cleaning 'Marble' Marks From Paint

[fireball]

I track my car regularly and since I'm the fastest car at my local track I'm always catching guys and getting sprayed with marbles. They've left streaks all over my car.

Is there a way to clean them off without using a polisher? If I can use some product with a cloth or maybe a particular type of car wash product, that would be perfect.

I'm trying to find a quick and easy solution that I can use as part of my normal car washing routine. I know a professional polish will make it all right but I'm looking for a do it myself solution.

I've tried clay bar without success.....

Thanks,

Greg

Im not a track guy but it seems marbles would be dangerous on a track!
I assume these are balls of tire rubber?
Dryer sheets work on alot of different stains

A little WD-40 on a cloth and they will disappear...

Please don't use dryer sheets, they are to harsh for the paint surface and will leave spider scratches. a lot of scratches...

Be sure to use some spray wax to clean up the WD-40...

Yes, marbles are balls of rubber that wear off of tires.

We use Adam's Detail Spray on our racecar before every pass. We hit stuff at over 200mph and the front end is usually full of dirt and bugs. The Detail Spray is a quick and easy way to shine the car. If it is a large amount of dirt, we use Adam's Waterless Wash. We buy it by the gallon and have bought enough and used it for so many years, we bought a dealership. It is great for places where you don't have a lot of time to clean your car.

If you are interested, email me: [email protected] and can give a better price than listed on our site; thompsonracing.us.

If there is wax on the car the impact can heat the spot and distort the wax layer. You may have to strip that area and redo to get it all out. I have even had to wet sand them to get it ALL out. Good luck.

I'm trying to find a quick and easy solution that I can use as part of my normal car washing routine.

1) Just use with water, no need to buy other tool or special detergents for rigid stain.

2) Reduce over half time of removing contaminants: Use friendly and it is very easy and quick to remove dropping, insect grime and containments, which bonded on paint finish and only operate with water.

3) This product also has same function of clay based bars

4) Environmentally friendly: Just use with water and decrease water pollution.

5) Lifespan of product is 20 to 25 times if properly used and stored.

6) If block is dropped on the floor, simply rinse it down .

OK, I'll try some of these products and even the WD-40.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks,
