Urgent Paint On My Car

Featured Replies

Hi i sprayed a areasol for car paint near my car and now have some dots of paint on it how do i remove it? Can i tcut? Or wipe some thinners on it quick and rinse?



Try t cut or a very fine abrasive compound. Fallout remover? Tar /glue remover if it's still curing

Wil t cut permanently remove the laquar?

Not if you're careful no. On a 15 plate car I'd have it done professionally though

Also have some spots on headlamps i cant scratch them off do you think thinners will wipe it away without doing any damage

thinners should work for headlamps, just don't get any on paint and make sure to whipe off and wash afterwords, thinners will dry quickly, but it will also eat paint if you are not carefull, ask MR Bean

Clay bar and detailer / water is the best and safest way to get it off

I ran over a paint tin recently and was all up left hand side of car! And as Willy said a clay bar and autoglym rapid retailer got rid of it easy!

Hi

Would a clay bar remove a bird dropping stain? I had birds muck on the side of my car and after wiping it off during a wash, In certain light, I can still see a stain where it had been.

I always try and remove bird muck as soon as I see it but it was on the nearside so did not notice it for a few days. As the finish is pearlescent with a lacquer finish, it's not directly on the paint so, what's the best thing to remove the stain with?

Should do unless stained top coat but it's worth a try
