Clay has nothing to do with the color of your car...

I am willing to bet nothing you can buy locally will be better than fine grade. You can try it, but fine grade tends to have a tough time with overspray (which is what I think that is). Color of the car doesn't matter. Two tips with clay; use a lot of lube and be patient, it can take awhile to work. If you want medium grade you'll need to buy it online.

FWIW, I am not 100% sure that is overspray (I'd have to feel it), but I've been doing this a long time, and I can say with relatively security that that is overspray; especially considering the fender was re-sprayed.

As for the re-sprayed fender, that match is laughable and should be fixed by the body shop.

Def looks like adhesieve residue on the bumper just take some goof off and get it off there was a little left on the tail light of my car when i picked it up and just came right off

[TahoeOG]

OK so i went to the dealer and i'm dropping it off on monday.. Here are the results.

Front bumper overspray looking thing = will be removed. He said it's not a problem they will get it removed.

Difference in color, said it looks about the same but he will resend it to the body shop to blend in better. Monday i will tell the SA exactly how it's different from the bumper.

car pulling slightly to the right, could be the road, i noticed it my cousins car to so maybe it's not a problem. He told me he owns a e92 335i to so on monday i can drive his car as long as i want to see if his car does the same thing as mine. He said the low profile tires play a big role in the car pulling a little to the right.

So i told them to hold it as much as they see the car is good. If it gets repainted to actually look at the cars color prior to giving it back to me, if the alignment is changed to actually drive the car before they give it back to me because i don't feel like having my days off work to be at BMW or to call out to be at BMW.... I'll keep you guys updated.

i had the same stuff but only it was on my trunk, like you can see it from different light angles right? and its not ruff but its not smooth....i just clayed it and after awhile it came off ....

ok guys so i bought the car in to the dealer today and got my loaner... well now it's all waiting time for them to fix that thing on my bumper and have my fender that was painted repainted because it looks to dark... We'll let's see what happens

[TahoeOG]

Ok guys so i got a call back from the Service dude and he said they removed that thing from my bumper completly!... and the paint is re-done on the front fender he looked at it himself and he said HUGE improvment. NOW it looks good.

Well i'll pick it up today and post up pictures. Can i still clay bar my car this weekend even though the fender has gontten painted????

If not then oh well. He washed the car for me and this weekend project is... install my PROcede that i just got. Maybe i just might do it today.. lol we'll see.

I have seen this happen many times, its from water being heated while sitting under some sort of plastic, the two react and this happens, what you do is take a heat gun to it, keep it about 12 inches away and let it slowly heat up, if you dont have a heat gun, a hair dryer will work, once the spot on the bumper cover gets hot enough, it will simply dissapear before your eyes. Only takes a few mins.
