Hey guys first time poster. I was washing and waxing my friends car today and I looked at the side-skirts of the car and I noticed paint. I didn`t try to hard to get it off but I was wondering if there is any way to get this stuff off? Any ideas?



Thanks in Advance

It would be worth trying to clay it. You can get the clay magic set at pepboys and it includes a bottle of lube with it for $10.

That would be a good place to start.

Try laquer thinner or mineral spirits. These are only a couple of dollars per can, and you may have them lying around the house.



If that doesn`t work, move to clay like scott said. Clay works wonders on paint overspray. No sense in spending $25 or more for a clay/lube kit if thinner will do the job. (Unless you would be detailing often with clay)



Here`s a before/after on an 03 Civic with 600 miles and gray latex house paint everywhere.
