Good Evening

Mother has run over some paint and it has splashed on her black plastic bumpers.

What is the best thing to get this off? She has been to the local jet wash and this hasn't budged it.

Any other advice for removing it? I'll have the car all next week.

Thanks
Scott

Bit of white spirit on a rag should do the trick

I thought this would fade the black plastic?

Small portable steamer?

"GENTLY" does it.

I'd make sure and do the whole bumper so it blends ok, then black boot polish.

If it is emulsion then it will come off with hot soapy water.

Had the exact same thing happen to me last week. Only noticed it was dripping out of the 4x4's boot in front of me a little too late. Was flicked up by the front wheel all down the side of the car. Autoglym Tar remover did an excellent job plus safe on all bodywork. Just wash the car well before hand to limit swirl marks.
