truck tire explosion
well a trucks tires exploded on the highway and I was unlucky enough to be driving behid it and got hit with most of the debri. I just drove off assuming there would be no damages. Anyway was I supposed to just pull over when the truck pulls over or what?? There were black rubber marks on my bumper but I was able to rub it all out but I can't get the black marks off my side markers... Opinions?
Sometimes tire debris can cause lots of damage, especially if the pieces are big enough and you're going fast enough. Good thing there was no damge to the car. I would have pulled over just to make sure. Try buffing the marks off the side markers with some acrylic polish or extra fine grit sand paper. Some people on the board have used headlight restorer with good results. Try a search in the lighting section.

sorry about that buddy! for that reason, i never drive behind/on the side/in front of trucks, elderly, and teenagers. As for your conflict... i know that 3M has a good plastic cleaner that you might want to try. Secondly, I have never done work with side markers before, but i think if you bought a really high grit sand paper, you can probably sand it off with no damage done to your side markers. Good luck.
