I've noticed yellow under the paint on the fenders(plastic color or coating?)but nowhere else.

My little chipped spots around the wheel well seemed to be gray under the paint.<br><br>What annoys me about a white truck are the grayish black vertical streaks it gets on the fenders and other places after is rains. Dang acid rain. :'(<br>Seen it on other white trucks, but never on any other color. <br><br>Chris<br>

I got that ugly lil yellow/greenish color from where the fuel overflows out the filler neck. Nothing seems to help remove that stuff. :-[ No chipping thank goodness

If that does not work, and it should because it will remove paint in some cases, try polishing or rubbing compound. <br><br>I have seen where you can now get a rubber boot that goes around the filler neck that folds out when fueling to keep fuel away from the paint. Check GenosGarage.com for them.<br><br>Chris<br>

Mothers Clay Bar will fix 90% of all your guys problems with stains and such. My truck even though brand new needed a clay bar treatment when I got it off the truck. Here is what to do.<br><br>1) clay bar entire truck till the paint is smooth really smooth.<br>2)Mothers Cleaner Wax<br>3)Mothers Carumba Wax let the wax dry then wax over the old wax without removing the glazed wax then let it dry for about an hour. Now remove both coats and have the best shine going. ;D

Jamie,<br>You ever use McGuires (spelling?)? I have heard good things about them.<br>And on the Mothers thing you posted before, in step 2, do you remove that before the 2 coats of wax in step 3?<br>And what is &quot;clay bar&quot;? I've never heard of that.<br><br>Chris

Hunt down the clay bar can be found at canadian tire here probably equal to your pep boys type store.<br><br>Use the clay bar on the truck<br><br>Then use the cleaner wax let it glaze then remove it<br><br>Then wax the truck let the wax glaze then wax over the glazed wax without removing it. Let the 2 coats dry togeather then remove both.
