    G'Day Jas,

    Great question and I'd love to know what the painting trade would have to say on that, but from my experience...

    My old man's be washing his cars in kero since I can remember. It always cleaned the paintwork really well and leaves a nice water beading finish. It's never damaged the paint, but if there's any chips or bare metal it seemed to accelerate any rust! This next generation doesn't do that anymore!, but spot treatment is fine. That's why it's best to make sure you give it a good wash.

    Thanks mate - got a black mark on the rear near the spare and can't get it off for love or money. Had a paint protection bollocks put on but might try kero now!

    G'day mate

    hopefully you have already removed it but my dear old dad all his life swore by Mr Sheen removing stains and grime from his car and brings the paint up
    like a million dollars every time he washed his car he would dry it and apply Mr Sheen and hand polish
    Any tuff spots just spray a bit on till it foams up leave it for a minute and hand buff off
    it wont remove everything but you will be suprised what it will do and your car will look great

    cheers
