Tire marks

can anyone tell me how to get tire marks off the side of my truck? dang big rig trucks. i guess one blew a tire out and it was laying in the middle of the road the other day, (about 4:30 am) and i ran over it and it went down the side of my truck. got some of it off, but some is still there.

Maybe try claying it or some bug and tar remover, make sure to wax it afterwards though as both will remove any wax you have on it

Try bug and tar remover, follow up with a clay bar, then some ScratchX. If that doesn't work, take some pics, post them in the care and detailing section, and tell them what you have already tried.

Try some Bug + Tar Remover... Use a lot and let it soak a few mins before attacking it.

If it doesn't all come off, spray some easy off oven cleaner on, let it sit for a minute, then wash it off good. Then def. clay, wax, etc.

Do a search or look in the cleaning / detailing section for a better write up. Basically it's a 'clay bar' that you rub onto your truck to get all the imperfections off the clearcoat after washing, before waxing. You'll be suprised if you've never done it just how well they work
