this morning walked to my car and about to go work, then i saw this on my car.
I parked it on the street right in front of my house.

I buffed off that big paint spot but there are a lots of small dot every even on my window and every where in the rear of my car. I wondering if anyone know how to remove those paint dots.

Where can I get security camera for my car where I dont need to turn on my car to record.

thanks

Makes me thankful for my garage.

Unless you have some experience in these things, I would take it to a shop that does. Someone who knows what they are doing may charge you some money but if they do it right, it will disappear.

It really depends on the type of paint that was sprayed on your car. If it is spray paint, you may have gotten lucky. Either way, I would avoid using any abrasives to remove the spots until I have tried every other option. The best option is to consult a professional, but if you want to do it yourself, here are my thoughts. The sooner you address it, the better.

I'd first start with washing with car soap, then washing with dish soap. I'd even try all purpose cleaner or bug and tar remover, or Goo Gone. Even try Iso-Propyl Alcohol and maybe acetone.

Top Tip, I have heard and seen that the oils in carnauba wax will dissolve and remove spray paint.

Another option is tying a clay bar to remove the paint from the surface, and there are so many different levels of "aggressiveness" for clay bars.

My last resort would be a polish or rubbing compound. I'd leave that to the professional. This will more than likely remove the self restoration clear coat on the car, but the red paint should be all removed at this point.

Good luck, and keep us posted. Seriously try the carnauba wax!

Generally lacquer thinner will work but test it on a small and least conspicuous area first to see if it pulls paint. Be warned lacquer thinner is very hard on hands and eats through most latex gloves. You could just polish that off with a medium cut polish, I would do it by hand not machine.

Yeah I don't see there personally being a reason you can't get it off... I'm no expert, and like Lexus2000 said, I can imagine a wetsand / polish on your paint being able to remove that since it's material on top of the paint. Just make sure you have someone that knows that kind of work to do it before you have someone burn through your clear and base coat.

Most spray bomb paint will come right off with lacquer thinner, I am not sure about these newer auto finishes but I doubt the paint would be harmed.

i tried the wet & wax chemical guy, it doesn't works. So I just use polish machine with 3m compound it all gone now,it only has a little dot left but I dont want to polish too deep. for my windows i cant get it off

If I have detailing questions, I usually check the videos at AMMO NYC.


For the windows, try the clay bar, and if that does not work, maybe try a razor blade. I've always been too scared to take a razor blade to my windows, but supposedly it works.

Any after pics? I'm curious to see how well that 3M compound works.

looks good, seems like you need some further polishing to remove the holograms caused my your buffer you see in the pics.

Agreed... Paint is gone, but you're not finished... time to keep polishing to remove those holograms

which pad should i use to remove those?

zmcgovern4

iTrader: (2)

A polishing or finishing pad paired with a fine polish on a dual action polisher.

I was using that to polish it

Serf27

That is number 2. Use number 3 on a finish pad.
