I restord my sons Cub a couple of years ago,painted with 2150 IH paint,a couple of months ago I pulled it out to clean the barn dust off of it and play a little,I somehow loosened up the cap just enough tha twhen the little thing got warmed up good antifreeze sprayed out the filler onto the front end.I was close enough to the hose that it didnt dry up any before I got back over there and washed it off using soap and water,car wash soap I always use.Went down yesterday to pull my tractors out for "playday" and low and behold the paint has faded where the antifreeze had run out,any way to clean this off without repainting.I havent tried waxes or compounds yet as I dont want to mess it up before RPRU if I should decide to take it.

Try the mildest stuff first--a combination cleaner-wax, if that doesn't do much you can try something like Turtle Wax polishing compound, it has a mild abrasive but will damage paint if used too aggressively. The next step up is a rubbing compound, more abrasive, easier to cause damage. You probably don't want that. You probably won't get 100% results with either, but it should look better. Your rag will be red, both from the good paint and the bad paint, so go slow. About the only advantage single stage paints have over bc/cc, is that you can polish minor imperfections out.

There is a polishing compound, light gray in color, that is made for polishing clear coat finishes, available at the auto paint suppliers, or you might get a little bit at an auto body shop, enough to do the small place you described. don't use the harsh rubbing compound (orange in color) Its too hard on the paint! by: Rustyj
