    Road Paint Removal

    Long story short on the Interstate and they were repainting the lines, passed the truck doing the spraying and the white front bumper got hit by a bit some yellow over spray, not a lot but enough to notice. Tried paint thinner and polishing and it is not even dimming it. Anyway to successfully remove it? Thank you

    I'd recommend starting with a clay bar as that is often used for removing contaminants including overspray.

    Re: Road Paint Removal

    Both of these responses were my first thoughts. Either one will need to be followed with a light polish I’m sure.

    Pretty sure this has been asked quite a few times. Try the search feature.

    I don’t get this response. Almost all new post have probably been addressed in an older thread.

    Doesn’t hurt to post new threads. What if someone has tried something that works great but didn’t add it to a two year old thread.

    New products coming out all the time

    It’s alot easier for him to post and you to skip than him searching through 5-6 older threads

    Go to 8:42, just heard this last night watching the video. Vaseline on the paint overnight and you're good to go!

    Re: Road Paint Removal

    I have to take care of this issue with the SB Honda. About 2 or 3 months ago I nailed an aerosol can of yellow paint that was rolling across the road with the left rear wheel. Looks like pollen on the quarter panel & left side of the bumper.

    Tarminator and a bug sponge. Clay bar is another good option.
