				Hi Guys, 
 
 
My car has been smoking it's arse off (a fix is in the works as we speak) and I am wondering how to go about successfully removing the stain it has left on the rear bumper and drivers side tailight .....
 
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated ... 
 
 
Cheers |

				| If its a chrome bumper that's stained, try rubbing it with autosol.  Maybe try the Meguiars cleaner on the taillight. |

				Because it is soot, im pretty sure no solvent/solution will lift it entirely by itself. I would try warm soapy water and steel wool. If it is a chrome bumper, it wont mark it. It should come off this way
