I have got lots of black spots all over my car that kind of look like tar spot, i have cleaned it all off the sides and boot but i just cant seem to get it off the bonnet and roof :(

I have tried Mequires clay, tar-spot remover and t-cut and nothing has really worked.

anyone got any ideas

Bit of a strange one rely, thort one of those things might have got rid of it, ive got some tar remover at my work, also gets rid of sap that insects leave behind, and dead bugs that have been squashed.

Dont know to be honest!

does it feel flush with the paint, or is it raised slightly?

So when u run ur hand over it with ur eyes closed, can you feel that its there?

yeh the paint has a slight rough texture to it, although its not half as bad now that i have used the clay

Might of been painted over badly, ive done it to my nova a few times, fixed now, i get a lot of tar spots, all you need is some t-cut but not the wax stuff and A LOT of elbow grease!:thumb:

at my work we use stuff called TFR (traffic film remover) and it seems to remove everything it touches. dont have a clue where you get it from though lol

yeah -go careful with a cutting compound - just try a blob; check to see what it does to ur decent paint around the spots..
