Default Black above exhaust

What do you all use to remove the black left above the exhaust on the bumper?
I dont want to use T-Cut because it's a fresh paint job and dont want to start removing it! lol

Or could i just go really lightly with it? Taking off the black but not cutting into the paint?

WTF is that?? LOL! No it's not been on long, as i said it's a fresh paint job say 4 months old so I keep it really clean but normal shampoo and water isnt getting it off and is gradually building up!

Yeah thats what i was thinking, and there is 3 coats of laquer on top of the pearl coat so would take a while to get through that!!

thats acidic!

have you tried a claybar mate? i dunno if it'll touch that type of stuff, failing that auto glymn super resin polish is good, but on abrasion is probably very similar to T-cut.

maybe just a really fine cutting paste, not as coarse as g3, but more like g10, or maybe the 3M finesse-it finishing polishes.

Normal body polish and a bit elbow grease should lift it if its not been there long. You wont go through with that.
