Help, Black cloud in paint. (oil smudge??)
On Friday I brought my 2003, 50th anniversary in for an oil change. I hate to bring it in to the dealer for anything. And today I was reminded why.
On the driver’s side – just next to the door handle I have a large “thumb print” cloud in the paint. It looks like an oil smudge mark. (oil, brake fluid, grease I’m not sure) I tried to wash it, and zaino it out but no luck. It almost looks like it has blended in with the paint. I can’t seem to lift it with anything.
To be honest I would rather try to get it out myself, no telling what the dealer would use. But I will visit him on Tuesday to “express my concern” (hide the sharp objects please).
Anyone have this happen, Anyone have any ideas on how to get this out…

I've tried Zaino, the zaino clay bar, and some bug and tar remover. Nonthing works. The spot is Not raised at all and almost seems to have set within the paint. I'm open to any other idea's.

No problems with mine doing this. Try the clay bar routine - if that doesn't work, have the dealer fix it. Good luck.
