Well i went to wash my car today and noticed dryed up white paint on the side of the car below the door and on the bumper behind the rear tires. Its on the tires too so i must have driven over some spilled paint that was still wet. its been 100 degrees here in houston everyday so its really dryed on there. Any tips on how to get it off? Thanks.

Did you try a clay bar? Worked for me before when I drove over road paint, it happens and with no signage, its hard to tell. Id get a decent clay bar on there

Paint

I need the answer to this too!

Some idiot across the street decided to spray paint his house while I was out one morning. When I returned I moved my Stang but the damage was done! There was white overspray on my red Stang! :mad2: I live in Houston too so I'm sure the car was nice and hot when the paint landed on there so it's baked on now.

Seriously, go to wherever you get your detailing stuff and grab a clay bar, mothers/meguiars etc all make em

Well, holy shit! I went and did just that.

That stuff worked like magic!!! No product has ever worked so well for me! You wouldnt believe all the brown stuff that came off. The clay bar started life as a thin slab of soap and ended up as a sandstone colored tortilla! LOL!
Thanks for the great tip cruisin!

Glad that worked out for you, when I first was introduced to them, I thought my paint was clean on a previous car, after a few hours with the clay bar, I had the same results as you. It did work well for me on getting of road line paint too
