So long story short, what I'm 90% sure is tyre black, has splashed from the wheel onto the body. I think from driving it to early?

It's been on there for a few washes, and hasn't budged yet.

How do I get rid of it?

The only time I've heard or seen of tyre rubber getting splattered onto the body of a car is when you're doing massive burnouts. If the super-hot rubber has bitten into your paint that you may have to get that area resprayed, however, if it's not as bad you can try one of the following methods:

1. Go and buy a bottle of Turtle's Super Claybar from Repco or Autobarn and use this to rub off the particles on your car AFTER a good car wash - it should come off. Then just wash your car again and it should look normal again and follow it up with a wax job if you want it to shine as new.

2. If you're lazy and want to save some money, go to your kitchen and get some MorningFresh dishwashing detergent and mix it up with some water and washing powder, e.g. Omo washing powder, shake the mixture up well and then with a soft cloth, try to remove the particles off your car and follow it up with a good car wash.

I think there is a good chance you can remove these particles. Give it a go and let me know how you go.

Good luck.

Another consideration...

You're from Leeton & it's been pretty hot there with the tarmac melting in parts.

Could it also be tar residue?

If so, one of the mods has recommended Turtle Spray-on Tar & Bug Remover. It does remove wax however.

That makes sense, I'll get some tar remover tonight.

I got some tar residue on my car a week ago, due to the hot weather, the road was melting lol.

But I got it off pretty easily with some polish, maybe that's coz I cleaned it straight away, I'm not sure.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
