I have a theft recovery vehicle that the thieves decided needed an interior paint job. There is black spray paint everywhere from the headliner down to the press buttons on the seat-belt clips. They painted every button and light even the instrument cluster.
I have tried a few chemicals that I thought might work and so far nothing that wont take excessive time.
I would love ideas on how to remove WITHOUT damaging the vinyl or fabric
Thanks in advance

Call your insurance company? They should be able to handle that....

Bummer, 2nd the insurance call. We had a little overspray inside a vehicle once and it absorbed a LOT of time. I won't mention the name, but there is a product sold by some of the big home improvement stores that works by interfering with the bonding of paints. If I found myself in that situation again, that is what I would try first.

Try mineral spirits. It might work.

Recently I had to remove a friends plasti dip from his motorcycle fairings. On some parts it wasn't coming off. I tried mineral spirits and it would dissolve it after some rubbing with microfiber.

Another thing I tried was turtle wax adhesive remover. That was easy. I sprayed it on and it would just dissolve it. No rubbing. It would just wipe away with a microfiber.

Thanks for all your replies. As I am a detailer I have tried all my go to's but some of what I have tried has not removed it and the rest is wrecking the interior vinyl, push buttons etc.
Going to give eco graffiti remover a go...wish me luck
P.S. It is not a personal vehicle so my insurance company cant help..lol
