    VXKAT/"Nasty Stain"

    I am going to show this pic to the Doctor and see if he knows what caused the thumb print. I will see him Tues.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    This is going to sound nuts, but......the Miracle Orrange didn't even phase the stain! Can you believe it!
    It did make the surrounding cladding a nice richer gray, a tad darker than the rest. I've left my cladding totally untreated with anything for over 2 months in preparation for going to Moab since every cladding product I currently have made dust stick like crazy.

    Really makes me wonder if there's something in the Chevron Supreme gas that may be a bit different or something that caused this.

    Oh well...last resort is CarSystem Refinish Restore.....

    Hi sue !

    That stain is way weird though,i had fuel spilled few times over the cladding but never got "printed" like that.

    That chevron gas may have a quimical additive that caused the dark stain as you certainly thought
    Dakar was just the begining.

    i have the same problem, and its been there for about a year.

    but, not from gas. I had a can of Arizona sweet tea, and poured the last inch or so out the window on a hot day, not really thinking anything of it. a few days later after a wash it was still there. and still is after several scrubs/products. its about the size of a baseball but not as dark as the gas stain. but still very noticable. grrr
