OK, I had my front trunk resprayed years ago to rid it of the stain from the spare tire. Stupid me, I THOUGHT that would be the end of it. Now it's back & I can't get rid of it! Even the Zone 1 concours winner has it (see earlier thread). Yeah, I should have put somehting between the tire & the paint, but I didn't. Now how can I get rid of it! Why does it do this? I know there or engineers out there -splain it to me & PLEASE tell me I can be rid of it. Really ruins a pristine trunk. |

Funny you should bring that up, as I was just wondering the same thing yesterday as I was cleaning the f & r trunk compartments. I've wrestled with this before and nothing I've tried to date has even begun to remove the tire(rubber) mark on the bottom of the f. trunk. Very early on during my stewardship of this car('70/4), there were small felt pads glued in the front trunk wheel well that the tire rested upon. Age gave up the glue, and thinking these now loose pads were a nuisance, I wisely discarded them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Anyway, the stains have persisted to this day, and I figure that after all these years, the rubber and paint molecules have permanently bonded.

Paul, You jogged a very old memory! I think you may be right. Forgotten about it, but I also seem to remember those felt strips. Gotta check my parts manual & see if they show. |
