after removing mudflaps, BAD grime
i took off my mudflaps today, and (especially on the front) there is a layer of grime underneath, looks almost like caked on brake dust, but way harder to get off. any ideas? i cant seem to get it off for anything

i've tried, thats what i'm saying, scrubbed it with a rag, sponge, clay bar, and i considered acetone, but decided against it, not completely sure it wouldnt hurt the paint, so not risking it

use a scotch brite pad and some dawn dishsoap. if the paint does scratch (shouldn't) than you can just buff that little bit of scratches out.
