Black over spray, from idiot teenager...
 

OK, I have some black spots, over-spray on the hood, fender and headlight on my BRZ.
Stupid teenager "Needed" to spray her bed room furniture real close to my car when it was parked in the garage.
(She denied it but have her on video, BlackVue paid off:)
Tried clay bar, but the black mist is caked real well in the paint.
Try brake parts cleaner maybe?

Is she cute? Try wax cleaner or some type of pure polish... Something with a mild abrasive. I'm sure someone will chime in with nail polish or acetone...

Ask for some "payment" for the damages. If she is 18, of course.

I'd be upset
 

If you have video I would just make her insurance pay for it. Or if hers doesnt yours might(?). However, find out how much the paint job will be because if it is lower than your deductible, if her insurance wont pay it, then you'll ahve to foot the bill.

Man that really sucks...

I would try a few repeated attempts at claying after using some mineral spirits. Mineral spirits is good for overspray and tar. Brake cleaner is a no, no IMO

A professional detailer could probably take care of it. Give her the bill.

Make up remover

Thanks guys, got it all removed with Lacquer Thinner.
Guys at my work suggested the stuff.
I assemble and manufacture commercial signs and the guys from paint set me up.
We got the over spray off during our 15 minute break, gave it a quick detail spray and will wash and wax later this week.

Stuff was on the windshield, chrome side fender, windshield wiper, and headlight.
As for the teenager?
No respect for my car, no respect for her allowance for a while and her trips to the mall? Learn to ride your bike girl:)

I don't think anyone picked up that the teenager was your daughter...


...right?

You tell us.

I think there's a subreddit for this kind of stuff.

Not anymore. It got deleted after Anderson Cooper ran an exposé on it and the primary mod got doxxed and lost his job and family.

Not my daughter, but girlfriends daughter...

Id consider 3Ming the headlight now. The thinner probably stripped the UV protection off of the headlight. Might yellow really quickly if left exposed

Hmmm now its getting more interesting :lol: sorry couldn't resist glad you got the spray off dude. :happyanim:

She must be 13? Make sure you take it to the next level!

Sooo, age of girlfriends stupid daughter? Lol.

Glad you could get it all off, i woulda been scared to use lacquer thinner.

17 lol

I've seen this movie before



Would watch again.

IM OUT! LOL :bellyroll:

Trips to the mall, my ass. She'd be grounded for the next four weekends with an extensive list of chores to be done each weekend if she ever expects to go out with her friends again.
Your girlfriend must have serious skills you don't want to lose access to if you're letting her brat off that easy.

hahahah

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Mother, daughter, sofa,

your quote

Love that couch lol

WD40+claybar, wash and re-detail. Do a better wax job after you do her too.

Casting couch????????:laughabove:

Never use Lacquer Thinner to clean a painted surface. It's meant to remove cured and dried paint.

Use Mineral Spirits/Paint Thinner. Which is much weaker than Lacquer Thinner and is safe on cured/dried paint.

But, before using any solvents...I would use a more aggressive claybar (or alternative claybar). The Nanoskin Medium grade sponge works well to remove overspray. I just used it a few weeks ago on my 24/7 outdoor 10yo Tacoma, that's never been clayed, with super heavy contaminants on hood/roof/tailgate. Cut through all of the 10 years worth of build up in a few swipes.
