Default Paint Stain Removal Help Please

My wife's Jeep has a stain that looks to be rust. Not sure how to get it out, any help would be appreciated. Please excuse the dirt, car was shipped and it has since had a bath.

Can't tell for sure by the pics but I would say you are going to have to polish it out, either by machine or you my do it by hand with our Revive polish.

I suspected that would be the case. I'll guess i'll get to see what your polish can do! Thank your for the advice.

I had spots that looked like rust on my car when it arrived from the trailer, ended up using klasse AIO on a foam pad and came off very easily.

Looks like bird poopie to me. You may need to color sand with 2500 to get it our if polishing won't work. I have seen this several times, the acid in the poopie is what etches the clear coat and leaves the stain.

I guess it could be, looks so much like a rust stain, although I admit I've never seen a rust stain on a car clear coat before. Either way its going to take some work to remove it. Appreciate all your suggestions.

Forgot to mention, I removed mine by hand and it didn't take much effort at all. i'd suggest a least aggressive approach and work your way up from there.

Thanks DK I will certainly start light and escalate from there. I did some reading on the Klasse AIO. Seem like interesting stuff. That will be my first step.

No need for wet sanding, since Adams jumped in here, in my shop we have had great success with Adams Finishing Polish

When doing paint correction it is best to always start with the least aggressive approach and then proceed from there as needed.

Quick update for those interested. I decided to try Meguiar's Ultimate Compound today to deal with the stain as I have had good experience with this product before. It worked very well with simple hand polish removing the stain completely. For those like myself that are inexperienced I recommend this product as I think it is "dummy proof" to some extent.
