Hi folks-
Have some black rubbery marks from the strike rails at the dock.
Hull is Imron paint. What product can remove these without damaging the paint?
Thanks,
Cheryl & Howard

I have grown to love magic erasers (melamine sponges).

No magic erasers on that paint. I always use a light polishing compound and follow up with rejex or any other polymer polish. No wax.

Re: cleaning marks off of Imron paint
In 1984 I had a van painted in Imron. Got pine tree sap on the front and it dried. Nothing would take it off. Got sick of seeing it and tried contact cleaner I used on my MX bikes. Took it right of with ZERO
paint damage.
Sadly I doubt the formula from back then is the same as today so probably not a good idea.

Thanks all- I tried 3M light compound and it took more elbow grease than I expected- will keep at it.

Lacquer thinned is not as hot as acetone. Try it first but with the same restrictions as mentioned with acetone.

Meguiar’s Cleaner Wax works great on the black streaks that run down from snaps. It might do the job on bumper marks.
