Exhaust soot removal from bumper

[00hawk109]

So since I don't have cats I get black "soot" from my exhaust on my bumper. Anyone got a tip on the best way to remove this? Thanks

Prep solve

bug/tar remover, wd40, or anything that is not an abrasive/clearcoat damaging product

Don't plan on repainting your car if you use WD40. It will leave fish eyes all over it if you are not able to get it all of and it is a PITA to get it all out

proper prep work prior to painting addresses said issue

Heavy black sooting is a sign of poor combustion usually due to poor AFR's..

VAC leaks, Engine mods with a bad or no tune, poor fuel delivery, amoung other things can also cause high levels of sooting..

Unless the soot contains oil too it should clean up with glass cleaner..

I would try hot soapy water first before resorting to a penetrating oil..

It's possible, like I said. Just a huge PITA!
