So, In perpetration of washing my truck, I thought it would be a good idea to spray B&T remover on the hood, grill, and bumper. My biggest mistake was that the front end was in direct sun. Although, I did have a bucket and hose ready to begin washing the vehicle so I figured it wouldn't be a problem.
That's when I saw my neighbor, who was doing yard work, hit the deck. She went down hard, sliding down a grassy hill over a granite stone and onto her gravel driveway. Long story short, she broke her ankle in 4 places and will be in a cast for the rest of the summer.
By the time her husband and I got her up and into his truck, I forgot about the B&T remover. They headed to the ER and I began cleaning my wheels. The B&T remover sat for 15-20 mins on the truck, in direct sunlight before I tried to wash it off. I was able to get it off everything but the bumper (???), so I consider myself lucky.
I tried using denatured alcohol, paint thinner, and even tried spraying the bumper with more B&T remover (in the shade this time). All with no luck. I'm not too upset about it because it could have been much worse. Maybe it's time to have the bumper Line-X'd to match my Tuxedo Black paint. I could do the running boards as well, they all ways turn white within a week after cleaning them.
Any one have any thoughts on how to remove this crap off my bumper, or why it ate the paint on the bumper but not the grill or paint on the hood?
Thanks in advance, TheJoker
