The back quarter panel of my truck is stained black from the smoke. It was that way when I bought it. I don't mind it being like that in between washing but when I do wash it I would like for it to scrub off. Didn't know if there was a special product out there that would take it off without hurting the paint. If I can get it off I have thought of probably putting a turn down on it and not worry about it again. Thanks

I use some purple power degreaser misted on it and my grill to clean off bugs then pressure wash. Generally have to use the wash mit on the smoke stain though. I try to give it a quick wash every few weeks but I have a nice hotsey at work.

This is what I use to get soot and grease off...

Soapy water and a bunch of elbow grease Some polishing compound for rims works too

There is a product NAPA sells that is great for removing glue and adhesive, but safe on paint.Can't for the life of me recall the part number, but it works great for just about anything tough to clean.

We used to use citrol to clean adhesive residue from graphics removed on sleds. I bet that stuff would work good too. Or goo-gone or goof off or anything like that I bet. ---------------------Posted with mistakes from my phone.
