My wife's car, a silver Peugeot 406 estate has a handprint, from my son's greasy hand, on the bonnet. I've tried to wash it off, polished it, and have just tried Autoglym Tar Remover, and nothing works. As we want to sell it soon, any suggestions??
Thank you in anticipation.....

have you tried thinners or white spirit , will also remove polish so you will have to go over it afterwards...cheers...keo

I would be using thinners, well not cellulose thinners anyway, white spirit is a good start but I have seen similair type marks that are really difficult to remove but good old brasso does the job, then repolish. Regards Peter

Thanks to both of you - I'll try white spirit first as I've got some in the shed. I rather like the little hand print - some mobile personalised artwork - but I doubt a buyer would be so sentimental!!

Should Have read: I would NOT be using thinners. OOOps

Rub it all over for a nice even shade of brown ....
.... to be serious it might well have eaten into the paint to the extent that it cannot be cut out. However try being very gentle with T-Cut, not the stuff they sell for mettalics, the normal stuff, though as I say be gentle so as to not take away all of the laquer coat.

I would try firm application -- hard rubbing in and polishing off -- of Autoglym Super Resin Polish first. If that doesn't work, try the Autoglym Paint Renovator, taking care to heed the instructions for this powerful product.

Just an update - used Brasso, as it was under under the sink, and it's come up fine - thanks for all your helpful tips.

Did you remember to repolish the area/panel. Regards Peter
