Rocker Moulding Stains

pikkashoe · 07-23-2007, 07:18 PM

I have two spots on my plastic rocker mouldings on the right side right behind the front wheel. Its an 07 335 coupe, alpine white.

They look like same crap i get on the rear bumper, which after a while turns orange (guessing oxidation), but those come out with the clay bar. These two dont. Ive tried the clay bar, 3m Perfect It III, and Meguiar Fine Cut Cleaner to no avail. They almost look like they are developing under the gloss coat. And you cant feel the spots when running your finger nail over them.

Any suggestions or idea's.

Are you sure it's not some of the shipping wax draining? There are two areas in the rocker panel where this is common with drainage.

No I have had my car for like 4 months, these just appeared recently. Plus the shipping wax drainage is more yellowish in color. This is an orange color.
