Ok i have seen this Golf in the carpark which i use. I was wondering if i were to take this on. How would i remove the paint.



It has paint on the tyres too. It looks like someone has dropped a can of paint over the car. Quite annoying :eek:



Is #80 good enough or would i need something more aggressive as i could get away with a good price as the only other alternative is a repaint!



I dont know if its a gloss or emulsion..........

~One mans opinion / observations~



I would clean the surface with P21S Total Auto Wash, followed by Magic Clay (Red bar) and then follow with paint cleaner.



There are a number of products that are specially formulated for this purpose (Dupontâ€â„¢s Prepsol, Groit`s Paint Prep, or Rohm & Haas Acrysol) will clean a paint film surface. These should remove the paint while maintaining the original paint finish.



I would try this before I would consider an abrasive polish



~Hope this helps~

John,



The very first thing that needs to be done is to identify exactly what type of paint has been dropped onto the surface. Is it latex, oil based, etc?
