I've just got a 67 Mustang (light blue) but it has some acid rain damage on the hood and trunk. It shows as little dark circles - looks like water marks. I've tried some Mothers cleaner on it but it doesn't touch it. Any ideas as to how to get those marks off? Thanks.

If the paint is thick enough,maybe a good wet sand,and buff,other then that,a repaint for sure!

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

No prob's!!How did only the hood,and trunk get the damage,and not the rest of the stang?

I don't know... I can only suspect that it was sitting out in the weather and/or under a tree or something.

prob the same as mine... mine sat at a smelter every day all day.. and just the little bit of acid rain eats away at the clear. best way is if you catch it in time, there's a product called "fallout" it works great, then claybar and re-wax

now if it's too late like mine is... repaint...

Is the 67 original paint? If so I suspect a compound may take care of it or a 2000 grit wet sand (careful here) followed by compound, polish and finally a sealer before you apply a nice wax. Watch out for paint thickness though you do not want to break through the paint. Also you may find the panels you compound and polish will look much nicer than the ones you did not do so it may well lead to a full job on the car which will take time but the result will be worth it, smooth as glass and a mirror finish.

I understand how it can happen,was just currious why only certain parts like the trunk,and hood got it,but not the rest like the roof?LOL
