I need a detailer who knows what he/she is doing. I'm from SF, but I am going to college in the OC. So anyways, I made the trip from norcal to socal in my car 3 times. I taped off the front bumper the first trip and underestimated the heat and some of the adhesive stuck. I tried goo gone and 3m adhesive remover with no results. My car was parked outdoors and after about a week, there was some mystery substance that seemingly came out of nowhere by the hoodpins. I tried goo gone and 3m on it again, nothing. A couple of days ago i was filling up and i noticed the same mystery liquid was trickling down the middle of my rear bumper. I think this mystery substance is melted lubricant from the hood latches on both sides of the hood and the trunk latch. I have no idea what its made of and I have no idea how to get rid of it. I haven't tried a clay bar yet.

So hopefully that will give you a good idea of what measures are needed to get the job done. I want the stuff off of my car by the end of the week because it is not getting any cooler in socal and I am afraid the various stuff on my paint will bond to my clearcoat if i leave it in this weather long enough

I am willing to drive my car to you if you are within 30 minutes from Diamond Bar (inland empire) and I am willing to pay good money to get this stuff off of my car, so name your price.

PM me your number if youre intersted:


that hole is where the liquid was leaking near the trunk latch


close up


that streak on right of kidney is the substance, most of it is off but i dont want it sitting on my paint


that hole that is the same shape as the trunk hole is where the leak is


another one of the front

clay bar, it will be leaking from the bottom of your doors soon, too.

is this a known problem when you leave it in the sun for a long time? that lubricant stuff shouldnt be doing this should it?

where can i get a clay bar online or around here (inland empire)?

thanks in advance
