I recently removed my swingaway wheel carrier and when I removed the plate which bolts to the rear door I found 7 years of accumulated dried up dirt and where the plate had rusted, stains on the doors paintwork.
Some of it came off with soaking, and I then used some car polish which removed another lot. However there was still a large crusty lump in the middle of the door so I tried the universal cleaner - WD40 which worked its way through another layer.
I'm now left with a stubborn rusty brown residue, looking life a relief map of the Outer Hebrides and with the resistance characteristics of Kryptonite. I want to avoid abrasives as the actual paintwork is in good condition once the clag is removed. Any ideas on what I should try next?
