It's not sold at AG, but AFAIK they don't have a specific road paint remover.

Start with this all over:

Spray on Krud Kutter Road Paint and Graffiti Remover and let it dwell for a few minutes. The best part is that it does not re-liquify the paint and just makes it soft enough to remove with a microfiber.

Then at the end, accidentally drop the wheel on its face like an idiot. The good news I work at 2 dealerships, so I can get it fixed pretty cheap.

Thanks for tip! Road paint is always a challenge to work with.


Sorry for laughing at the 'disaster'!, it was funny the way you shared the story.

To avoid this, I'm always working wheels over an EVA plate, like this:

I know myself too much to not be on the safe side! hahah

Kind Regards.

Next time I'll work over my rubber cargo mat. I wish I thought of that.
