Removing Paint on car
I ran over a spray can in the lane way at the back of my house and the can sprayed all over the rear side. Some on my black wheels as well, in a silver colour on sapphire black car. Little shits in the lane left it after graffitti all over the fences.
I have tried soap and water but no way. |

That is really bad news - sorry to hear that it happened. Best bet is to try a clay bar as soon as possible as that should get most of it off. Finish off with a polish like Meguiars ultra cut compound then wax. Hope this works for you.... |

On one part of the car its on so thick that I have decided to call a car detailer. He is coming over tomorrow to assess the car. In the meantime I rang my insurance company, in case I need a repaint.
Thank you for all the suggestions. |

Well, great news, the detailer got all the paint off, including from my black wheels.
I don't know if I am allowed to give him a plug, but Daniel Tran from Theultimatedetailer did a fantastic job. |
