I sprayed the roll cage and cabin with 2 pack polyurethane paint which has oversprayed onto the exterior paint in a few places. In the past using thinner gets it off but this stuff is well stuck. I tried cutting back the overspray but that's hard work in 90F. I thought about a quick rub with polyurethane paint stripper??? Any suggestions welcome as long as they don't suggest using monkeys!
One could call it an Automotive paint Magic Eraser. Take a look here, has both parts you would need. There are many brands out there. Your local auto supply store in the states will stock it too. Not sure about the local auto supply store in Costa Rica. The Best Car Care Products are at ShowCarSupplies.com - Detailing Clay
Thanks Nathan , the Costa Rica version will be a broken house brick. I found this [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfEfLGL59GI]How to Clay Bar - YouTube[/ame]
After you use it many times on the paint it works well on the windows as well to remove stubborn deposits. I would imagine you would get more being off road.
If you have a random orbit polisher slap a Nano Skin Autoscrub pad on it. It is the absolute best thing I have ever found for removing overspray, treesap, raildust, etc.
I find that lacquer thinner works well on paint overspray. (Not kidding) Just put a little on a rag and wipe. DO NOT scrub the paint or let the rag sit on the paint just wipe a few times and the overspray and wax will come right off. May sure you re wax the spot when you are done cleaning off the overspray.
Seen this it might help me as well? You see apparently I have a jealous neighbor or an unknown enemy. A few months ago someone splattered silver nail polish on wife's caddy her car is silver put still pissed me off to no end. And now I got out the other morning and a red spot of nail polish about the size if a creaking quarter on the atomic punk. I want to kill.... well maybe not yea kill someone Will this stuff clay bar take nail polish off ?
Claybar works well. The longer the pain has been on there the harder it may be. Chris if claybar doesn't work use 80 grit sandpaper. :wink:
Next time you are going to spray anything sticky onto your MINI, masking stuff you dont want sprayed with blue painter's tape and a couple days worth of old newspaper make for a lot of time saved from cleanup but then you won't get hooked on clay bar, polishing, waxing, two bucket hand washing, lots of high quality microfiber drying cloths, quick detailing solutions...be back later, just thought of something.
You are confusing it with fern bar...you can indeed gently wipe down your car with ferns...won't get it clean but increases the chi something fierce...
Chuck, I can find the above easier than finding the clay bar. Dave O is correct regarding the Lacquer thinner. I have been using this which does remove the overspray but takes a long time. I got the overspray because I have to spray the car outside and on that day it was very windy. Little spots of white paint when everywhere. At least the paint will be wax free for the decals!
I'm glad this was brought up. Now I know who to blame for the white overspray on the wife's R56! Jk, Rally. But seriously though, I've recently noticed this crap all over the driver side of the car, and have been wondering how to get it off. I'll be picking this up soon. Thanks for the info guys!
The paint blew all the way to Kentucky! Wow that paint takes a while to dry hahaha I've got tomoorow off work and the weekend so I'll be looking for some remover.
