Help: Pecan Stains Under Clear Coat
hey everyone,
so i had parked under a pecan tree and noticed a few brown stains on my bumper and hood from pecans falling onto the car (damn squirrels). the stains have faded a lot on the hood. however, the bumper seems to hold on to the stains a lot better and haven't changed in appearance since getting them about 2-3 weeks ago. i'm guessing it has something to do with it being plastic vs metal. anyways, i consulted the dealership about the stains, but they informed me that the stains have settled under the clear coat. is there anything i can do about this? or am i just SOL? would i have to approach this with rubbing compound or something? any help is appreciated. i'll try and post photos of the stains tomorrow for you guys to see. |

Pictures please, If they did stain the clear coat then no amount of polishing will help you and you would subsequently need a repaint.
