Default Greatest thing since sliced bread

I just recently found that mr clean magic erasers do wonders for small rub/scratch marks. On my white 98 ext cab I had a few dirty water marks under rear side windows, black marks from the gas cap hanging under the fuel door, and a few rubs here and there from a number of things. These have been there since the day I bought the truck and I tried the magic eraser on it and now they're completely gone. They wouldn't come off any time I washed my truck. Just real tickled this worked thought I'd share it with y'all. Unfortunately though I didn't take any before and after pics to show y'all how well it worked.

Clay bars also work pretty good for water marks

I used a magic eraser to get rid of black grease spots on my WHITE 87 Firebird. Does wonders. The only thing I worried about is the box for the magic eraser says not to use it on painted surfaces, but it's been about a year since I used it on my Firebird and haven't had any problems.

I did notice the top clear coat seemed a little brushed on but will come out with a rubbing compound

See I never had that problem with the Firebird since it only has a 1 stage paint job from the factory, so no clear coat. I haven't noticed anything wrong with the paint though.
