Removing paint spray

[tracer.smart]

I've got paint spray on nearside rear wing and back panel as a result of being parked downwind from some bright spark painting the outside of their property. Any tips on how to remove this - have brought to bear usual Autoglymn arsenal with no success.

Good tip, however if this doesn't shift it then I would also recommend T-Cut , it may be frowned upon in detailing circles but its a great cutting product and particularly efficient at removing overspray etc. Make sure you use the correct product, Blue for Metallic, Red for Flat paint, and start with a gently gently approach.

HTH.

T Cut might be a bit harsh.... White spirit could well shift it if it's not had time to fully cure.

Had same problem with paint spots on car last year. I had a chat with my local paint shop (top bloke ) and left car with him for two days. He removed it all by using his skill with very, very fine grade polishing tools. Might be worth you asking if anyone local to you can be recommended and see what they will charge you.

you have got to be careful with white spirit though because my dad did the same thing with his alfa romeo and it took some of the paint off.

I agree with the T cut approach......but, please approach very, very carefully.....

Kleaner Klay. From 3M I think.
Available from most car paint suppliers maybe £25 max.
Non destructive to paint finish or glass, just keep it wet and rub it all over the car methodically. You'll need to wax polish after but it will get rid of the overspray. Don't use it on rubber seals.
Used it on my own car last year. Hope this helps.
