OEM hood decal spots/stains

[Robert Wright]

I have these white specs and what looks like stains on hood decal. I have used polish to try and buff these out with no success. The only thing I have used as far as cleaners/waxes have been Meguires ultimate wax, Turtle wax seal and shine, and Adams VRT.
If anybody has a sugges it would greatly appreciated?

That almost looks like paint overspray to me? Do you, or have you parked near a factory? I had little white spots, on a black car I owned, due to overspray being emitted through the spray booth exhaust system.

I'm not sure if it will work, but I once used Formula 409 spray cleaner to clean the wax of my Gen1 hood decal after a detail shop waxed it, and it began turning white a few weeks later. It took the wax right off with no harm to the decal.

I’ve used bleach white on my 13 and wax the snot out of it afterwords works great

You might want to get some Goo Gone and put it on a rag and gently rub the spots out. It works on practically anything.

Thanks for all your Input. I will try these suggestions. I was thinking maybe when I used either the the polish or VRT since that is when I began noticing it.

I’ve been using VRT on my Gen1 hood decal for 7 years. It seems to have kept it in good shape and water beads right off. Just my experience.

A clay bar should remove the specs easily. Wash then resea/waxl with whatever your product of choice is.
