sudocrem and car body paint

donutheadhomer

we often change little badger in the car and as much as we try to clean our paws we leave lots and lots of fingerprints on the car body caused by sudocrem. washing up liquid does not remove it nor does that sticker remopoval stuff. Any ideas??

Not sure if it will be of any help but had similar problem with kids 'paw prints' from sunscreen on car body work and tried a good rub of tissue /rag to no avail .Standard car wax (Simoniz Max Wax in the fluorescent green bottle -ultra easy to use but not necessarily that long lasting effect )got rid of the unsightly marks easily .NEVER use standard red bottle TCut on a metallic car !(if you decide to try that -should work too)

Megs paint cleaner or any paint cleaner - it will say it on the bottle. You can get it in halfords. Wax is no good - it will just add a layer of wax over the mark.

Sudocrem is an oil/wax based product, so a detergent based car shampoo and a bit of elbow grease should do the job if not then a clay bar treatment should pull all of the remaining contaminates off of the paint work. It's a bit of a job, but you should really polish and wax after a wash like this.

Never use washing up liquid on a car to wash it, it will destroy the paintwork. While you are buying the cleaner wax recommended above buy some car shampoo for washing the car (if you wash it at home). Best of luck getting the stains out.
