Stained by petrol

[Bhaal]

Damn heartache!

 

I just collected my brand new white Altis on Tue evening & went to top up petrol and I left it to the pump attendant to do it. I didn't really check the car when I got back as it was raining. The next day I notice a light pinkish stain on the paint below the petrol hatch, some petrol must have spilled onto the car body and left a stain on the paintwork. I tried wiping it with water but couldn't get it off. Any bro here know how to remove petrol stain without affecting the paintwork?

Have you try polishing?

[Mzrmazda3]

Bro, try using some wax to rub it over and see whether it goes off

bro. try 3M swirl marks remover. its abt near to $20 per bottle. get the one for light color cars. (they have another with the same bottle for dark color cars) on the external they will mention it. can get at home fix-it shops or major car accessory shops.

 

this is a real power one. try it and good luck.

I've not done any polishing before what type of wax should I should? Wax is colourless right?

[Bhaal]

Thx, I'll try that.

Bro... Care to tell us which patrol station you visit so that we can avoid it like plague...?

[Bhaal]

It's the Esso station along Up Bt. Timah road opposite the fire station.

Wow! I alway goes to that one.

 

The only petrol station I have bad experience is the Esso at Upper Thomson (the one that have a Shell and Caltex near to it). The uncle forgotten to close my fuel tank cover.

Interesting.. The rain didn't wash the petrol off..

Better to top up yourself, esp new cars. Some will overfill untill the petrol flow out, some will even forgot to replace the fuel tank cap back...

 

Been pumping my car myself since I got it 2 years + ago...
