So i've got a garaged parking spot at my condo place. Before I got my MINI I noticed that once and a while there would be a rusty water mark on top of my Jeep comming from some leaky pipe. When I got the MINI I took some time to find where the pipe leak was and try to seal it up. Well this morning I found a little drip on my roof.

So the question is, how do I remove this drip mark? I patted it dry with some microfiber and tried a little slick to see if that would help, but no luck. I never could seem to remove the drips on my Jeep with just soap and water, and I really don't want to ruin the finish on my MINI.

I had just applied Epic last week, so I should have a good layer of protection. Is this a job for claybar, or will something else work? How do I strip the Epic to see if that process will remove the rusty drip?

 

A small piece of clay bar should take that off but be careful to use small circles to get it out and throw away the chunk of clay bar after you get it all off. Re-apply Epic afterwards

 

I have the same thing and i used rubbing compound. The top now has a swirl scratch mark...it sucks

 

rubbing compound is typically coarse. you want to go over it again
with something like ScratchX using a foam pad. it should remove the
hazing.

btw, get that rusty pipe fixed. talk to the landlord. it could be
sewerage and very corrosive/health risk.
