Hello, i recently went to one of those immagrant car washes where you go throught all the stages. At the beginning they sprayed a liquid on my car, which i now know as TFR (Traffic Film Remover) and it didnt do my paint work good, its reacted with my wax and polish and looks like someone has squirted love juice all over my car. Has anyone any ideas how to get my car looking shiny again? it looks a mess. Thanks alot.

Thought that because it affects the wax and polish on the paint, so i gave it a washing up liquid wash, to get off the damaged wax and polish. Didnt work, looks like im gonna have to get the polish out and polish the fook out of it  . So did it do the same thing to your paint work, or they just do a shit job. Heard good things about that tfr on engine bays and wheels tho.
Pissed me off n all, had a full valet only 3 weeks before n all, bastards

TFR is horrible stuff... Really eats wax/polish if it's left on too long.
Try getting that in a cut on your hand... Ouch!!

TFR is great, but only in the right hands lol.
I use it on alloys, wheel arches, engine bay etc.
But yeah its very potant, my mate stripped the paint off someones bonnet using it too strong lol.
Try some Megs paint cleaner mate.
A polish alone wont remove it.
