New help removing furniture stain from Cadillac

My dad is in from out of town for a couple weeks. He drove down his new Cadillac SRX so we could do a full detail and get rid of the dealer installed swirls. The car came out great but he pointed out to me quite a few small stains on the lower front bumper and spoiler. I guess he was staining some furniture in the garage with the car in there and a little splashed onto the front bumper. I tried 1Z Acrysol and a number of polishes and nothing touched it. He even tried gasoline (at his own risk) in a small hidden spot on the lower part and that didnt even phase it.

I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. I wish I had pictures of it, but they are small spots, maybe half the diameter of a pea, and there are around 15 of these little spots.

Thanks in advance.

 

IPA mix, Degreaser, Goofoff, 3M Adhesive remover.......................might have to wet sand.

 

I'd be careful with goofoff. It's super effective at removing adhesives, but it would eat though the paint very quickly. I would wet sand then polish

 

Don't use goof off ... it might stain your clear or eat your paint.

I would try Krud Kutter. You can find it at Walmart. Read the instructions, but the product is fairly safe. It removes glue and tar spots without much effort. It's a pretty effective carpet cleaner too (need to dilute it though).

 

I got deck stain on my vinyl siding when I was doing my deck. Somewhere on the web I read that graffiti remover would take it off. It worked like a charm on the siding - the stain wiped right off. But I would DEFINITELY read the directions and try a test spot somewhere inconspicuous first. The graffiti remover came from Lowe's.

 

Goof off's label says it is safe for paint...I'm not intending to argue, I just wonder if it is truly safe.

 

Try some laquer thinner. Dab some on a towel, and see if it somes off with gentle rubbing.

 

Whatever you use to remove the spots, make sure you wash it off asap, so as it doesn't dry and cause any damage to the car's finish!

 

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I'm not a fan of Goof Off, but I will try some of the other suggestions. I mentioned wet sanding to him the other day and he cringed. He's not familiar with the process and I think he was frightened just by the word "sand". The stain actually happened about a month ago, I hope its not set in.

 

Have used the little yellow can of Goof-Off professional strength for years on all types of stains on vehicles and never had an issue removing the painted surface. I use a Q-tip, touch the stain, rub gently, see if it came off on the Q-tip, then blot the spot with a towel, paper towel, something.

Alternatively, you can find out what thinner that particular stain uses or is mixed with, and use that to remove the stain off the painted surface.

Just use a Q-tip and its always been safe for me, long term, no issue, short term, no issue, the product, paint transfer, whatever, comes off on the Q-tip, and you are done.
