    Got a volvo in that had a paint can explode all over it. lots of little white dots of what the owner says is interior house paint. Its been on there for almost 2 weeks. Whats the best way to take it off. Solvents work but with a lot of rubbing. the buffer wont touch them. Was gonna get a clay bar and try that. If I remember right this sort of question sparked off a nice thread between some uy with a corvette and protec on the 101 :rofl

    would think it would just wash off with water or thinners but if not try taking your fingernail or a plastic stick (if you got no nails) and push on the side of the droplet and it will pop off :pcorn:

    The last one I did (that had 2 gallons of white paint poured over it!), got blasted with a steam cleaner to remove as much as possible, then worked over with an aggressive clay bar.

    I’ve also heard something about throwing hot Soaking wet towels on and letting it sit for awhile…

    That’s how I would attack it
