    Can anybody give me any suggestions on taking yellow road paint off my car? Preferably something clear coat safe and easy? But I'll take any suggestions and I'll post pics in a few. Thanks guys!

    Another option would be CarPro Tar-X. Either way, I would also use a plastic razor blade and clay to help break it down and help remove the paint from the surface.

    Reminds me of a time I drove over a small patch of fresh cement spillage on the highway and didn't realize it until the next day after it dried. It took me several days of claying to get that off. Degreaser was no help at all in my case.

    I've had good luck with Xenit but here's the technique.

    You need to DAMPEN a cloth and then hold the cloth against the road paint so the Xenit oils can go to work. The key is DWELL TIME. If you can keep a wet application of the Xenit against the paint long enough then you should be able to wipe the paint right off.

    Try Mike Phillips' suggestion first and take it easy with the razor blades, you can still do some nasty marring with them.

    Thanks Mike and everyone else for the input.. I'm going to go ahead and order some XENIT and give it a try. And I would never go "wild man" with a razor blade in my hand, plastic or metal, hell even a rubber one (of they make em). I was gonna see (very carfully) if it would kinda peel/flake off. But I'm gonna leave it alone for now and wait to get some Xenit.

    Another option is Goo Gone. You can usually find that locally. Just massage it in and let it sit for a bit.
