is there a major difference between the meguir's wax cleaner and
klase all purpose cleaner? i've got this stubborn orangy color
stain on the outside of my car. used wax cleaner to see if it would come off....only a little did. please help.

I'm not familiar with the Klasse cleaner, but if you've tried the Meguiar's and it hasn't helped, then you should try something with solvent (versus abrasive) cleaners. Klasse AIO has those, so perhaps their cleaner does as well. Someone who has used it may chime in here.

Have you any Scratch X or a fine cut rubbing compound? The cleaners in a wax may not be enough, as you are finding out.

Meguiar's cleaner wax doesn't have much cleaning ability, nor do most cleaner wax that I have used. The product you use will depend on what kind of stain you have. Have you tried using clay bar? Perhaps its just stubborn surface stain that can be removed with a clay bar. Use the least aggressive approach when tackling stains.

If you are tackling this by hand with OTC products I'd try using ColorX.

thanks for the reply.
i will try something else.
i was told that cleaner wax should be good for stains.....

if i have time this weekend, I will try something else.
thanks for the input. it really does help.

Any way you can post a picture of the stain? Is this on your 06 Lexus IS? How large is the stain? Where exactly is the stain? What color is your IS? What do you suspect caused it?

I have not idea what happened.
it's a bunch of tiny orange speckles.
you can only see them if you look for them.
bothers me....it's about a millimeter in diameter...but a bunch of them.

it's on my 06. maybe got it under a tree...but not sap.
argh!!!

Try a clay bar. It sounds like contaminants on the surface. A clay bar should get them right off.

Guitarman

It almost sounds like ferrous metal particles (rust!) but if it's only on one area of the car that's less likely, unless you've been using a bench grinder in your garage near the car.

Take your pick, all the above advice is good.
