I use a couple different products to get where I want to be. The hood of the truck was relatively clean, but the berries had left some stains and some of the fruit skin had tiny dried flecks that were difficult to remove. A clay bar and detail spray took care of the little flecks of crap. Then I followed up with some SONUS Swirl remover and then some Einszett Paint Polish. I did this until I had a mirror finish and then topped it off with Meguire's Gold Class Paste wax. The roof of the truck was a disaster area. The berries and leaves had collected under the roof rack and basket that most Xterras have on top. I made a slurry of 3M Perfect It II Rubbing compound and water. I essentially scrubbe the roof with piece of terry towel and the rubbing compund slurry. It did real well at removing the decomposing stains left by the leaves and berries. I then followed that up with the Einszett Polish and Gold Class wax Quote:
I checked with Wikipedia and the tree is a Hackberry. Its pretty huge and really has become a problem this year more than any of the past two we have lived here. I have scooped up buckets of these berries and tossed them over the fence in past couple months. It is unbelievable how many fall each night. I have to rinse the cars off in the morning and the driveway or we track that crap back into the house!!! inside the cars and everywhere else. |
