Default Heeeelp!!!!

Okay, so I was washing my car today... and I see these skid marks... I have noooo clue where they come from, but if you scrub long enough, it comes off... it's like when you take off a sticker, and the adhesive is still there, and it's impossible to get off... now... there's quiet a few of them on my roof, and on the trunk.... soo... plzzz help, any suggestions to make the removal easier? and any idea where they came from?

Be VERY careful with this stuff....It WILL remove paint.

Just a friendly heads-up....use it VERY sparingly and IMO not on paint. Get a road oil and tar remover.

i've used goo-gone on paint before (lot's of people use it to take warning stickers off the gas tank cover on bikes). it worked well, and didn't hurt the paint. just make sure to wash the area you used in on with soap and water when your done.

I've used Goo-Gone to remove tape residue and it didn't even appear to remove the Zaino so I doubt it harmed the paint any.

You mean a clay bar. If you're really interested in detailing and getting the Z nice and shiny, clay bars are your best friend.
