Hi everyone... I bought my 350Z R about a month ago and when I bought it, it had bug guts embedded into the paint of the front bumper and they will not come out at all. I have tried over the counter stuff to attempt to get it out but have not been successful. I took it to a detailer and they would not buff it due to the possibility of ruining the paint. What are your suggestions?? Do I get a bra? Do I get a new bumper? Most cost effective route is what I would like to take...

Please Advise.

If you spray the Stoner Tarminator on the bumper it will help remove the bug guts and other contaminants. To help protect I generally just recommend a coat of sealant followed by a coat of wax. Let us know if you'd like a recommendation.

You probably have exactly what my z had when I bought it. If the z wasn't washed for awhile bug guts can actually turn acidic. Causing it to eat away at ur clear coat and even ur paint causing permanent damage to the paint...I had this same problem...we buffed it, wet sanded, and tried everything but it was too deep. Your best bet probably if it is what I'm thinking is to get the piece repainted. Try wet sanding and if that doesn't do it it ate through ur paint. Pictures would help

 

And this only affected my hood, the owner before me must off been a tard for not washing it off in time

 

correct me if im off base, but can tards even legally drive?

(im ashamed of my comment already).

 

Try a lightly soaked dryer sheet....yes, a dryer sheet.
