How do you get paint off the front wheel well, tire and wheel, and the car`s paint? Besides using clay bar does bug and tar remover work? T

his is the kind of paint that they use to paint concrete walls.

Man ive been thinking about your question since I read it earlier and all I can say is that sucks. For your wheels ive heard that with a good lubricant you can use 000 or 0000 steel wool and be ok. As far as your tires, they should be able to take some preety sever cleaners as long as you use a good rubber cleaner after and protect them as well. Your paint..besides clay...a heavy duty polish, just make sure you follow up with a sealant. Your wheel well I would think would be the same as your tire, you can use a good rubber.vinyl cleaner afterwards as well and follow up with a dressing. Just my 2cents what ever its worth. Good Luck!!!

Here are some previous threads on the subject that will hopefully help you get the paint off. I THINK some concrete paint actually has some concrete in it, so the first thread deals with concrete splatter. I would read these very carefully and start from the least aggressive method and work your way up. I’d also test any cleaner/solvent in an inconspicuous area first. Good luck and let us know what finally works for you.
