Hi guys,

I've found a pain run/drip on the passenger side inner guard/wheel arch.

What is the best way to remove this and would it be something a beginner can do?

Get a stiff block of wood, put 1000 grit sand paper on it and tape around the run, start sanding down the run then remove the tape and take a flexible sanding block and use 1500 grit to level the test of the run or drip to the surrounding height, and finish off with 2000 grit sand paper on the sanding block and then buff out the scratches

That's a scary area to work at. If you've never wetsanded and polished before, I'd caution you to leave it.

Do you have a pictures? I'm picturing right on and edge of a body line, or in the arch opening.
