    Hi folks,

    Being the fool I am I dropped the pram and the rubber (or similar) compound from its handle marked the bumper a few months back.

    Just wondering whats the easiest way to get it off as I have already tried credit card and got as much off as possible.

    Some pics attached

    I'd imagine any decent tar/bug remover would do the job.

    WD-40 also works for me for removing tar, does a great job too might I add!

    Just spray on and wipe off with a microfibre cloth.

    It's fairly well stuck though, it won't even scratch off.

    Is it a case of spray with wd40 and use a dish sponge that has a slightly rough side?

    A few things might work - tar remomer, polish, claybar

    No don't do that you will scratch and wear away the paintwork. A microfiber towel and a drop of petrol is what I use for those sort of marks. They will wipe away very easily.
