    rear bumper stained, how to clean it ?

    Hi all,

    I`m a newbie at this so I have a question for you knowledgeable guys ..

    my car is light gray, it is 4 years old and the paint is still in great shape; however, the rear bumper`s paint is stained from the salt, sand, etc. from using the car last winter.

    I tried washing it with different car shampoos but nothing seems to clean it.

    What would you suggest? Would something like a tar remover work?

    TIA

    What do you mean by stained? I have never seen salt or sand stain paint unless you mean like water spots from the calcium? Got pics?

    looks like it would probably come up with a light abrasive ... you might want to wait for another opinion but I would proably say to dive into that with Poorboys SSR 2.5 If thats not abrasive enough to remove it I would say to then step up to SSR 3....

    Be aware that you when using SSR 3 you will need to follow up with SSR1 (i think)

    Yep, you`re going to need to use some type of cleaner stronger than car wash on the paint. Good luck with it.
