The truck was stored in a warehouse with a leaky roof. I have some stains in the paint. Not the end of the world but I'd like to remove as much as possible without causing any more damage than necessary. Attempted to clean a spot on drivers door. Used a magic eraser and tried some degreaser sparingly. Some came off but not all. I was scared to use a lot of degreaser or let it sit too long. I’m guessing it’s rusty tar water stains. lol. Any suggestions on what can be used to get more off is appreciated. There are other places on the truck as well, this seems to be the worst. Thanks!

Looks like there is a few spots on the roof ,so maybe you could try a few things up there to test ,if that is rust stain maybe vinegar mixed with some water ,or CLR that takes rust stains off .I am sure someone has a product that will work. You could also try some polish to se if you can work it out but then you would have to do the whole truck as it will be shinny . My truck has been on sabbatical in the garage for a few years and was very dusty and marked up from working on it so I used cheep polish to go over it to get it clean after I wiped it down

Thank you! I skipped the roof when I washed it the other day. I knew there was a reason.
Great looking truck. I love the blue!
