Science Abuse Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Long story-short: Got iron dust all over my paint and didn't notice. It rained, it rusted, and now it doesn't wan't to come off. Is there hope? Wet Sanding? Magic rubbing compound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I have seen this done before. No suggestions, but good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 depending on how bad it is you can likely have it polished out of the clear. You might want to have a mod move your thread to the Finer Details section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Clay bar? or is it too deep? Had rail dust on my white cars from delivery and it clayed right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Clay bar? or is it too deep? Had rail dust on my white cars from delivery and it clayed right out. That'd be my first approach (Clay). As long as it hasn't been there long it's likely not THAT bonded to the paint. Clay bar should work. If not try machine polishing, then wetsanding as a last resort. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Pay andy to do it. Problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Pay andy to do it. Problem solved Agreed. I tend to get little rust specs of metal in the clear on the back of my M3 and they almost all come out with clay. They're a pain in the ass, but removable.

88lx5oh Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I agree with the rest, clay first, then machine, then wet sand as a last resort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I get it from my brembos every year, Andy pulls it from my paint with a claybar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
