Paint over-spray removal

[MrHennarot325]

I had to touch up some of my shadow line the other day, and today I noticed I had a little over spray on the car. What can I use to remove the spray paint thats dried to the paint?


Thanks A lot.

as far as i know, fine cut rubbing compound and a buffer... or elbow grease. then wax to a shine

You could also try a claying the area

yep, they got it...either clay bar the area or grab some lacquer thinner and rub it off. You shouldn't have to scrub hard with the lacquer. And, just to be safe, check your rag every so often and make sure you're not pulling any paint. Then throw some wax over it...

paint thinner w/ some elbow grease will take it off no prob.

Thanks for the advice. I will try it.

try this "polish medium cut" from Top of the line. the link is

my 93 325 (hellrot) was hit from the rear so my car has new paintjob starting from the door. under heay light, i could see the difference between the two. (significantly) so i bought one of those and canauba wax and they turned my 12 year old paint like new... it's amazing stuff..

ps: you need one of those polishers. sears sells them for like 30 bucks.

Dunno, when I had my legend I took off paint overspray with Maguires paint cleaner, (1st step in the three step process) and a buffer.

I used a rag instead of the buffer, but the Meguiars Paint Cleaner (burgundy bottle) worked for me, too. And it was old overspray, too (previous owner of my buddy's car, and my buddy had owned it for 4+ years by the time we noticed the overspray)
