Help a white truck out
I have a big problem. At work my truck got covered with tiny black oil spots ( called reazid I think). Regular scrubbing just is not cutting it. Claying is taking forever. Is the something that I can use to make it easier to get it off. I was thinking bug and tar remover? The only reason is that there is alot of it.

the whole truck looks like a dalmation with very small spots. I'm not sure if work is going to cover the cost. The clay bar is working but I would like to get something to help make it easier than go back with the clay to catch the tough spots.

alright went to oriellys and picked up a few things. More meg clay and detail spray, meg step 1, and turtle wax bug and tar remover. The bug and tar remover is safe for clear coats. It worked great removed all but the real tough spots. I then clayed and then did meg step 1. After that did meg step two and finished with nxt wax. So far it looks very good. The only problem is I have the rest of the truck to do. I only was able to get the hood done. RP if you have any input I welcome the comments.

I'd try the clay bar with a stong solution of dish washing soap and water. On my own truck, I'd spray some brake clean onto a rag and try wiping the paint down. Mineral spirits may also work. I'd give it a quick polish and a good waxing after getting the spots off.

SIMPLE GREEN---Dilute to a 4:1 ratio first, if that doesn't cut it, 2:1, then 1:1, then straight. You shouldn't have to get this far, but if you do, be EXTREMELY careful, and do not scrub hard!!!

Yea I tried the simple green and it did ok not to good. This oil spots is like a harder tar. I know where it came from because everyones vehicle is covered.
The turtle wax bug,tar, and sap remover worked like a charm. It also says that it was safe for clear coats.
After romoving the spots I did a major wax job on the place where the spots were removed. I just have to finish the truck this weekend.
