Hello,

got some yellow/orange toad paint in the wheel wells & under body of the car & maybe a little on paint & plastic parts. What would be the best safe product to remove it? front wheel wells are plastic the rears are a cloth material

i was thinking something like CarPro Trix or a degreaser?

Thanks

Mineral spirits or a medium clay bar.

Had this happen to me a few years back. My wheel wells are smooth plastic, and I used one of those plastic razor blades to get 99% of it off.

After that, I used clay and some acetone.

Yikes. I'm still shaking my head over these "outdoor carpet" looking wheel wells. Cleaning them has to be a royal PITA.

But, getting road paint on them? Yikes again. Maybe a stiff brushing?

I'm sure someone else will have a better suggestion. I'm at a loss.

When I did my brothers truck with the fuzzy wheel wells I used this.

On the paint and running board the plastic razor blade and Goof off worked pretty well considering that the paint had been on it for months.

The truck turned out quite good when done.
