    cleaning marks off of Imron paint

    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,

    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.

    I agree. I have always used a polishing compound as well. Then follow that with ProPolish or Awlcare or your favorite polish.

    In a pinch I have also mixed some Barkeepers Friend with the polish for a little more abrasive.

    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.
