Ran over paint in road, best way to get it off

SG335i123 · 11-27-2009, 07:34 PM

The paint is white, my car is alpine white, I can still feel some bumps on the lower portion of the doors and along the side skirts. Should I clay those sections, I don't want to use anything to abrasive in fear of striping the clearcoat, I am thinking clay should get rid of all the paint residue that is still on the car, any suggestions?

Thank-you..

not sure, appeared to be a latex white paint that I ran over, it blends in easy with my alpine white color. However when I run my finger over the skirt and lower section of my door I can feel the paint. I just frickin clayed my car 4 days ago, and now this happens.

damn that sucks, at least it wasn't a ridiculous color of paint like pink or orange.

latex paint will clog up your clay a lot sooner, be careful not to induce scratches. But clay will get it off.
