On my 83 RX-7, there is this white residue that is basically just around the edges of the car; the hood, the fenders, etc. Anyways, I can scratch this stuff off with my fingernail, but considering the amount, I probably wouldn't mave much for finger nails if I scratched all of it off with them. My question to ya'll is, what is an easy way to get this off, without scratching the paint under it?

that would be the clearcoat, you can buff it off with a rubbing compound

in aust its methalated spirts

the active ingreadiant (single) is more refined,

mineral means it could be many things

and by current american trends it might well be



like we can have

more alcimahole in beers (I thank you)

make better mid-range RWD saloons (GM wants HOLDEN to make the 2007 Dodge)

and actualy think about fuel consumption before bilding performance cars (V16 Chevy, what drugs are you on?)
