Can't remember the name but it is a commercial product that panel beaters use and it is made by Meguirs? Basically used with a buffer.

CLR should work but I'd use a small test panel first.
Cheers.

CLR IS SULPHURIC ACID, ACID AND CARS DON'T MIX!!!!!!
Mate best thing would be to give it a hand polish with a very very fine cutting compound, then give it a glaze coat to remove swirl marks.
wash car in clean
water, then give it 3 good coats of a waxed base polish, that way if the
bore stains appear your not stuck with a brown car.
wash and wax, wax, wax.
here's a big secret most top panel shops don't tell you!!!!!
Wipe with a clean chamois, not a dirty one, but a clean one. Best way to get them clean,
water blast it!!!! just be careful you don't get too excited and destroy a chamois, you can see the dirt come out.

CLR doesn't contain Sulphuric acid.
It contains Phosphoric acid which won't harm the paint if used as per direction.

Mind you Christopher, I surmise that H2SO4 would do the job as
well. Turn the stain into ferric sulphate I reckon; just keep the conc. low.

I learnt a trick recently from a car detailer - but be careful. Mix a solution of truck wash with half
water, half acetone put this on in small patches at a time. This is what they use to get rid of all stains and red dust from cars. Do not leave it on it will eat the paint but it will get the job done.

hi cobber
i only have ever used a rich mix of truck washleave it on for half an hour then wash off with a soft brush and then cut and polished it no worries
i would not put any acetone in it as that is like paint stripper good luck if you do
truck wash will remove north west dust without acetone if you mix it richly
cheers

Allen you are soooo wrong, Cappuccino is soooooo last year.
Hazelnut Latte is NOW. You'll just have to get with it a bit more :-)

Cobber, I
park my caravan by my lawn and it always gets spray from the
bore if an easterly is blowing (always is in summer here).
I use a product from any hardware store called Ranex. It is a rust converter which works a treat on
bore stains. Rub it on with a rag, let it sit for a couple minutes (without letting it dry) and rinse off. Stain gone.
Cheers Neil

Fair enough, as I said I have used it frequently on my van with no ill effects. I do as the instructions say though and don't let it dry before rinsing.
I guess they have to use the usual disclaimer for the one in a million problem that may occur.
