Well, here is the deal... Trying to stay calm, but my wife drives it 95% of the time as I work from home. I may drive it 2x a month now. I KNOW she would not have done it on purpose but looks like it was driving through a paint puddle! What is weird though, I think I am handling this better than if one of my watches got dinged up, how crazy is that????? ____________________________________ | |

| . .. I owned a detail shop for a looooong time Alan. Removed alot of overspray. If it's just regular house paint it would normally come right off with a light solvent, then you would polish and re-wax. I used to get a lot of jobs that were from industrial painting over spray. These paints are generally epoxy based and as the name implies they are built to stick. If you got hit by contractor overspray, they are generally insured for this type of event. Back track your brides travels and you may find something freshly painted. Go after them, it's their responsibility to prevent damage to other people's property . . .
. . . . and please, no gasoline on a clear coat finish. It can soften the clear, and make it cloudy . . . clay is a good option, but you'll likely have to multi step it . . . . and have it machine polished when it's stripped. . . .
Bad deal Bro' . . . . Good luck. |

| Specially blended solvent which provides easy cleanup of most types of adhesives, bugs, greases and oils, overspray, silicone, waxes and tars. Will not harm most thoroughly cured automotive paint, vinyl or fabrics when properly used. |

| WoW that sux Alan...feel for ya bro...I would try goo off or goo be gone...I have used it several times on tar and stuff like that and it comes off. I would find out first if it will be good to use on your cars paint. I did it on mine but my car is white so I cant tell if I ruined anything... | |

| There's probably lots of possible DIY home remedies that work pretty well...but if it's really bad I think I'd just take it to a pro. I'd be afraid of screwing it up more myself. |

| I'm ase and icar certified.if its the factory paint thats on the vehicle you can get it off. whatever splashed on it even if its epoxy based didn't bond to the surface.If you sand then polish you'll leave raised areas on each one you take off.Also factory paint is only 3 mils thick so sanding? no. do this.get a can of lacquer thinner and a bondo spreader.wet down some of those spots with the thinner.It will evaporate pretty quick.Then take the spreader and scrape off the spots.theres two other methods if this stuff is paint.both methods would need to be done by a automotive painter.1st one is to take a razor blade.Run the blade at an angle on a piece of glass.That will knock off any burrs on the blade.That back scrape the paint dots.that will remove them.The 2nd way is to just use a pain nib file.Thats for getting trash out of the paint job.Thats what I'd use 1st. they make two paint nib files.ones coarse the others fine.use the fine. |
