Getting rid of road paint
I accidentally ran over undried paint (the yellow ones) on the street and some of them got onto the side skirt. The paint seemed like rubbers. I can scrape it off, but I am afraid to hurt the paint. Any product or specific way I can do to get rid of them without hurting our paint?
Thanks!! |

try 3M adhesive remover in a spray can. Shit works like magic on most stuff, and safe on your paint. Spray it, then rub it off with soft cloth.

adhesive remover/ paint thinner- put it on a microfiber and scrub the paint off, then wash the area and spray wax to keep it from drying out.
do not get like actual paint thinner just the adhesive version. they make a special one for cars i believe the product is called pro finish. |

Clay bar first then some type of mild adhesive remover and as a last resort with great care, laquer thinner.
