Question Red Streak?

While my car is getting fixed I have been forced to drive the V-8 powered F-150. Haha, I love it by the way. Anyways, a couple days ago I wake up and head out to the truck to run some errands when I notice a huge streak of red... stuff on the driver side of the truck all the way from the front tire to the rear tire. I don't think it is paint because paint drips. Here is a picture, it might be small but it was taken with a camera phone. Is there any place reliable I can take the truck to get that shit off? Thanks.

I don't piss people off. I don't have any enemies that I know of. I was thinking it could be some little punk kids who live across 9th ave. A while back they stole one of my little brother's friend's bikes right from our front porch. My dad saw them a day later and chased them down in this truck, maybe it is them getting revenge. My dad is out of town though. I tried giving it a good rub down with car soap and water but to no avail, it didn't come off.

Try going to a professional detailer for an opinion.

sounds dumb but is it crayon? try getting some cleaner wax with a paint safe mild abrasive that may do it.

Nope, I scratched, scrubbed, rubbed, and everything else under the sun. It sucks because my dad was being nice and letting my drive his truck while my car is getting fixed and so far I've blown a tire (dog bit the tire in Alabama) and now this red streak across the whole driver side.

Go to discount or pep boys and buy a mother clay bar kit. It's like 20 bucks and can take paint out. This should be your fix
