Jeep Paint
I went mudding about two weeks ago and the jeep got fairly muddy. I left
the mud on for those two weeks until I had a chance to wash it. I was upset to see that the mud clouded my paint in patches! Can I fix this or does my Jeep now permanently stained? It is black paint. Thanks Chris 1992 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 L, 5-Speed 214k |
Re: Jeep Paint
I've had good success with just waxing it, but using a machine to apply
the wax and polishing it afterwards. The machine makes the difference for me. There are some waxes that claim to restore clouded paint to some degree, the come in various colors. Those worked well back when I had a white CJ. I think the brand is Turtle for that too. Good luck! -Kris http://plan9.dns2go.com/jeeps "Chris & Mary" <nebula@nbnet.nb.ca> wrote in news:54bPa.4974$jL2.462487@ursa-nb00s0.nbnet.nb.ca: > I went mudding about two weeks ago and the jeep got fairly muddy.

I've got a better idea:
Cherish the Mud. (why did you wash it off, anyway?) ;) TJim "Kris" <bognaes@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:Xns93B482E46DCBgurbatest@217.13.9.15... > I've had good success with just waxing it, but using a machine to apply > the wax and polishing it afterwards.

Re: Jeep Paint
Someone wrote wash me on it and it ruined the mud job.

But don't rub for too long or you will go through the clearcoat. -- DougW |
Re: Jeep Paint
try cleaning a small area with rubbing alchohol, see if that works
by small I mean not in a noticable area, rubbing alcohol has been known to take all the paint off "Chris & Mary" <nebula@nbnet.nb.ca> wrote in message news:54bPa.4974$jL2.462487@ursa-nb00s0.nbnet.nb.ca... > I went mudding about two weeks ago and the jeep got fairly muddy.

First try a mild cleaner/wax, then if that doesn't work, a MILD rubbing compound used extremely carefully. Or see a local detail shop for advice first. |

Re: Jeep Paint
A possibility of the discoloration is nothing more than tannins from
decayed leaves or is iron staining from decomposed organic stuff. If so this is very easily removed by using a cleaner that contains "oxalic acid". Cleansers that are commericially available are: ZUD, Bartenders Friend, etc. - obviously just wet and apply but dont rub! Try an inconspicous place first. Boaters use oxalic all the time to remove tannins and iron stains. Chris & Mary wrote: > I went mudding about two weeks ago and the jeep got fairly muddy.
