this happened pretty long ago fyi. i was driving one night on the highway. didnt noticed until i came home and saw the right side of my car covere din splats of white house paint. i quickly cleaned it off and even used gasoline to loosen up the paint. most of it is off, but there are still specs on it. i was just wondering is there ANYTHING else that can take this off? i tried alcohol and even gasoline. this week i will try paint thiner if possible. my door, part of quarter panel, wheel well, fender r covered with these annoying specs. everytime i wash my car and go out everyone tells me that my car is still dirty. but it is not. godamnit im sad. please help.

I'd stay away from paint thinner.

heck, I wouldn't have used gasoline.


Try a claybar.

Try an aggressive detailing clay. Be sure to follow up with a multi-step polish afterwards.

BTW, I think this should be in the detsiling forum.

Use a very lightly coarsed rubbing compound.... I had some pearl over spray on my SC's front end and it took it right off, plus it only removed the wax and I just had to throw some back on and it looks like new! try that before a clay bar.

jdmtruong

oops! sorry. but i remembered, the only thing that actually WORKED was a plastic spoon. i scraped it off like i was digging in a goldmine. do u think a claybar should work tho? if it should, i will pick one up tomorrow.

jdmtruong

what rubbing compound should i use? i will do anything to get these annoying crap off the sc. what is the product called and where can i pick them up at?

jdmtruong

ooooooooh! ok i noe what is a rubbing compound is. thanks! ill see if it works tomorrow, if not, imma clay it. thanks guys.

Yeah use rubbing compound then give it a good polish. Then after that you should wash and wax your car

I got some paint on my car onetime from the leatherseat paint, finally got it off with scrubbing and rubbing compound.

my 300 had a dent and friggin bright neon yellow paint on it from the previous owner's brush up against a parking lot pole....a little bit of that aerosol brake cleaner and it is 100% gone.

i had major overspray on my last car while tinting the tail lights. I took it to the shop and they wetsanded it. I looked much better than before

roo

umm, next time it might help to take the tail lights off the car before painting them...

This was a long long time ago. I used masking tape and newspaper allover

Try using 2000 grit sand paper and wet sanding off the paint. Then using a rotary buffer buff the area out with 3M polishing compound.

I guarantee the parts you polished will look better then the rest of your car.

The tricky part is using the rotary buffer. If u dont know how to use it right, u can make things worse.

im scared to use sandpaper on the area.its not that serious, but its annoying looking at it . its just a bunch of specs randomly covered all over the right side. should i still use 2000 grit sandpaper? scuurrddd
