Optigirl Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Bleach. I tried that, And a few others, it just made it worse. I didn't expect the Bleach to strip the clear finish and cause bleeding but it did, and to boot, Its causing the door hasp lock to rust, so in short keep bleach away ! I should try to have the a/c painted this year if it ever stops raining... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironranger Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 There is a product that is used for cleaning the streaking on RV's. I wonder if this would help with your problem. ironranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredR Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Optigirl,We had some discolore / stained white paint on our 206LIII due to turbine exhaust. We used Perfect III from 3M and I was told that Mirror Glaze 6 is also a good product. These are rubbing compounds so we applied them by hand. Made the paint look like new. However, it sounds like you are beyond that point with the bleach application. Something to try in the future.Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe heli pilot Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) "Does anyone know of a product that can restore this discoloring back to factory?" I'm guessing that it is gelcoated fiberglass if so try a heavy duty rubbing compound if that doesn't work a fine wet sand paper approx 600 or finer followed by buffing with said compound then wax. If you decide to paint DuPont Imron is very nice and gets very hard or Sikkens they can be found at most auto supply paint shops.

permison Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Does anyone know of a product that can restrore this discoloring back to factory? ~Lana Meguiars has some great products for this type of issue. I use it on my Corvette and it looks awesome. http://www.meguiars.com/ Specificly you might want to look at the Deep Crystal System Paint Cleaner. http://www.meguiars.com/?auto-paint-cleane...m-Paint-Cleaner My Vette is a daily driver (when the weather is nice) and I win awards for the paint every summer. It's a 12 year old car that drives into DC 3 or 4 days a week. I only use Meguiars products and it pays off. Use all three of the Deep Crystal system and your helicopter will shine!

Fastlane Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Bleach is an oxidizer! Keep it away from ANYTHING that you don't want rusty/corroded! Look to the automotive industry for your answer, and in your kitchen. I've had great luck with the automotive products already mentioned, and more recently I started using Mothers cleaner wax on my car. Took my 30 year old black paint to bright and shiny after a few coats. My wife's SUV is white, and had some nasty stains on it. A friend of mine suggested trying Soft Scrub! WORKS LIKE A CHARM on white paint!! Won't leave scratches, cleans superbly well! The only thing is, if you have (HAD) any wax on it, after Soft Scrub, it's gone! Good luck!
