WOW that's a lot Sweetie I'm sooooo sorry...no dents?

Trying "rubbing compound" then you will need to for sure wash and wax that area too.

The best I have personally found on black and darker cars is the one by Turtle Wax in the thing white plastic container... you can get it at the auto parts stores and I think even Walmart.

Funny how your signature includes "Take the Dumb Test"

That sucks, you should look at the post I made about my car and the carwash sprayer, they don't mix either. Stripped paint right of my ront bumper. But then I come to find out the bumper was repainted before hand that I didn't know about. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...postcount=1007

^^^^ truth ^^^^

Wash it first, don't want any loose bits of dirt / crap getting dragged around on the paint while polishing. Polishing compound and a bit (a lot?) of elbow grease, clean again and rewax, should be good to go

The mailbox marks should be taken out easily with some laquer thinner (Make sure it doesn't have Methleyne Chloride in it... thats nasty stuff. ). Wash the area well and rewax when done. You may need to have it buffed if it is bad enough.


As far as the other random pics... the intake setup you have defeats the purpose of an intake. That extra tubing adds more restriction, so essentially you took an intake and gave it the same restriction as the stock airbox.

And get rid of that chip setup you have done... it makes the car run insanely rich and will damage the catalytic converter and other parts.

Might have to wet sand it off but make that your last resort, try rubbing compound first
