Default Sahara owners: do you have stains on your rear bumper?

I noticed the other day after washing my JK that the silver part of the rear bumper has some brown drip stains from, only what I can assume, is the tire dripping after getting wet. I'll get some pics up tonight. I tried everything short of rubbing compound to get it out with no luck. I noticed this the last time I washed it but they rubbed out a lot easier that time.

Wd-40 and paint thinner, will mess your paint up something fierce. If anything use goo gone, paint thinner.....are you crazy, maybe if it was 1/10th paint thinner the rest water.

The bumper covers are not actually painted. They are a type of colored plastic (I forget the actual name), so if you scratch them they are the same color throughout.

With that said... neither WD-40 or paint thinner will harm the bumper covers.
