discussion Road paint

[BeanBooi]

Hi Fanatics, I have a strange one. I drove over some paint that has since stained the pearl white paint, rims, and tyres. Does anyone know of a product that can remedy this, or is it a panel shop problem? The photos below were taken after the car wash.

Start with benzene or even better, try a rubber eraser wheel, the one used for stickers.

Whatever you use the car will have to be waxed/glazed after. If your excess is low, just make it an insurance problem as the paint might have grit in it as well and any removal method might result in some scratches.

Sorry to hear about that dude.

Try to clay down the area and then hit it with a iron decon. Make sure to lubricate when using za clay bar.

just rather take it to your car wash dude that u trust.

That's not lekker. I would start by polishing it. If it's paint, well polishing will take it down. A rubber Eraser wheel can be harsh...I've taken the body paint and primer right off trying to het sika off the car before.

Have you tried tar remover?

Hi bud

That looks bad and will be a very labour intensive job.

In my experience a clay bar or polish won't remove it but will need to follow after removal.

I would order tar remover and plastic razors ( I personally use Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover and it works wonders):

AutoGlym Intensive Tar Remover 500mls

AutoGlym Intensive Tar Remover is a safe, fast-acting solution to remove stubborn tar spots, glue residue, pen marks, oil and fuel stains inside and out. During warm weather the road surface can disintegrate and small specks of tar are flicked onto your car and can be difficult to remove with...

Use a cloth to soak the paint with the tar remover which hopefully loosens it and then scrape using the razor.

If you come right with removal, the painted areas will need a claybar followed by a polish as the removal will cause some marring/scratches.
