black specs on rear

[Dave0803]

anyone know what to use to clean the black specs off the back of the car. I have an o/r x-pipe and I think that all the carben might be blowing out all over the car. I tried a clay bar, rubbing & polishing compound and nothing is working. Has anyone else had this problem?

black specs? take a pic so we can see what ur talking about, i get black specs all over my car in the summer...its spider crap...when i wash my car i just scratch it off with my nail...

 

[Dave0803]

They don't show up in pics very well. I looks like the it has been peppered. I've tried scratching them off too and you can feel that they are on top of the paint but they won't come off.

Off the back? you mean tire goo?

Off the back? you mean tire goo?

+1 for tire goo

Or may stuff from road?

Back bumper is prone for collecting dirt dust and other road debris.

 

[gtstangau]

Have you tried some bug and tar remover? Burnt rubber is the only black spec's I get!

 

[tomustang]

i have a 20 year old can of turtlewax tire cleaner and it wipes off the tire gunk with ease

 

[YelloSchtang001]

i think this is what he is talking about sorry about the crummy pic I dont quite get how to use the new camera

 

[Mustang5L5]

common area for gunk to collect. Mine does it too.

Clean it well, wax it and then the stuff will come right off

That looks like regular road dirt. The stuff in the pic should come right off.

My old truck was white and used to get these little specs of metal on it and they kind of were black. That might be what it is also. If that is what you have you might have to live with it because that is what I had to do

 

[Dave0803]

Yeah, I thought the same thing...I'm going to have to live with it. It's not tire goo and it is pretty much what what the other yellow stang had in the pic. It's all around the plate and the back trunk & bumper. I've tried clay, rubbing/polishing compound, wax, and finger nail scraping. they won't give. If anyone can think of anything let me know, it looks like that stuff is on there untill it can be repainted.
