SS LeadFoot Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 So my wife has been driving my car lately and I just noticed this white stuff on the passengers side. I think it is white paint from all the road work going on. She has no idea what it is Lol. What do you guys think it is and how can I remove it?

0 Beemer Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'd try clay first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HydroBlueJK Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 fender liners are harder to get clean than pain IMO.. use clay if that doesnt work try apc worst case scenario depending on how dry the paint is paint thinner ive even heard of people using kerosene...im sure people wont reccomend using that but ive seen it work with no ill effect..

0 Chris@Adams Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Clay & elbow grease and you can try 3m Adhesive remover. It will come off be patient and remember to re wax or apply sealant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SS LeadFoot Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 It has been on there for about a month if not more... Still think the clay will help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Beemer Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Ouch. It's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HFX Detailing Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If it is road paint, you could try to contact the construction company / whoever hired them to put a claim in. They might pay to remove it. SS LeadFoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BRZN Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Road line paint, after a month it's going to be set up pretty hard. Think about it; the stuff is made to take all sorts of weather, traffic and plows. 3M Adhesive and plastic razor blades are going to be your best bet Seth. You should be able to find the plastic razor blades at most any PBE (Paint & Body Equipment) location. The same location should have the adhesive remover too, if not, auto box stores should have it. Soak a paper towel with the adhesive remover and hold it on a small section for a minute or so to soften the bond of the road paint to your vehicle. After the minute or so begin carefully scraping. Wipe the blade regularly so you'll lessen the chance of scratching the vehicle's finish with the paint you're removing. You may find it comes off the inner fender liners easily, that's what I've found on the vehicles I've removed this paint from. Have your wife help, bet she won't do that again! Let us know how you make out. Edited October 8, 2014 by BRZN Team Adam's and Thorsager 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SS LeadFoot Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thank you for all the replies. I will try using the 3M stuff and a towel first if that doesn't work i'll go with the razor blade option. It started to come off with my finger but that was two weeks ago.

0 crowvet Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Isopropyl alcohol will work... test a hidden area first Just spray over the inner fender area with 3M rubberized undercoat. I think I have a thread on here from the last one I did, I will see if I can find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 SYMAWD Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I bought a road paint remover to hopefully clean one of my wheels. If it works I'll let you know what it is. Team Adam's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
