Default Cleaning off exhaust soot/deposits on rear bumper

I'm running no cat and a turbo. And in this current untuned state, the car is running very rich.

The right side of the bumper is nearly black. Soap and water doesn't take it off. Neither does a powerwasher. Is there anything I can use? Bug/tar remover? GS27? GooGone?

Thanks.

Sorry man but the paint is ruined. Happened to me. Call A&J racing and order an SRR fire plate from them to keep that **** getting on your bumper. It might cover some of it up too.

Have you tried using clay yet? My roommate has the same problem with his white bumper, it looks black after a few days or regular driving, so he uses detailers clay to bring it back, works pretty well.

Yup, Mother's Clay Bar will most likely take that sh*t off.

same thing happened on my coupe, i would wash it on saturday, and be tuesday it would be dark black, i would clean the whole car and just go around that little spot around the muff, just b/c i got tired of trying to get that **** off every single week, one time i used tide and soap water, alot of tide and it took it right off, but the paint was stained lookin, the car was silver and with all of the soot off that area was goldish, greenish, like looked like ****, so i just left it black.

Rubbing compound should work well. Get the turtle wax RED and GREEN.
