<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9702887, member: 37"]You could try washing with a mild soap and a damp rag. You may take up some of the paint so don't go crazy. Unfortunately, some paint loss may be the cost of improving the overall look. I doubt you will get all the marks out. Once you get it to where you like it, give it a coat of paste wax. If the paint looks too new, use a tinted wax.</p><p><br /></p><p>If mild soap does nothing, move to something a bit harsher. Something like 409 or even a little ammonia in water as a last resort. There is no pat answer, so you will need to experiment a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
