Orange Spots/marks On Top Of Rear Bumper/hatchback Door

[ludwig]

Help please.

I've just noticed some pesky orange spots/marks less than half the size of a pinhead on the top of the rear bumper and boot lid.

How do I get rid of them?

I think it may be residue from the rear discs/pads?

It shows up more on my car - Candy White MkV GTI MY06 !

I'm guessing - but do I need to use a "clay bar"?

Thanks, ludwig

Probably more like some kind of atmospheric drop out, wash the car dry it off , then run clean fingertips over the area (you can even use clingfilm as a barrier if you wish) if it doesnt feel smooth, then I would suggest claying it. If you don't have any to hand the quickest route is go to Halfrauds and buy the Meguiars smooth surface kit, which includes mild clay, a mf towel and a sample paint cleaner and quick detailer to use as the clay lube.

After claying I would use the paint cleaner and then add your desired LSP over the top.

Major, thanks for this.

Maybe, but it is only on the bumper top and boot door. Nowhere else on the car.

< ...add your desired LSP over the top.>

What's LSP again .....?

Thanks, ludwig

Basically your Wax or Sealant final layer.

I use AutoSmart Silver Shield paint protection as my final layer.
