Removing Road Paint from a Car

[03 Whippled Cobra]

So I did a search but it's almost impossible to get the results I want when searching the word "paint" in the detail section...

Anyway, my buddy ran over some freshly painted road lines the other day and it got on his paint and up in the wheel wells. What type of products do you guys use to get this stuff off of either of those surfaces? Thanks

This is one of the most annoying things to get off of a car.

I have had decent luck with claying the paint and pressure washing the fender wheels to get off 90% of whats in the wheel well.

On cars for dealerships I've had to go as far as plastic razor blading some of the bad areas. I soaped up the area well and kept a spray bottle handy. Afterwards I buffed the area to remove any minor scratches. Keep in mind that this was a dealership car

Great. Thanks for the info guys. I will pass this along to my buddy. Hopefully it will only require a clay bar or some WD40...

Like I said in the other thread, use a non abrasive method first.

Good idea. I passed the info along. Not sure if he has tried anything yet.

This happened to me too. There's no way your getting it out of the wheel well, but to paint it over. Use EZ Off Oven Cleaner on the paint. It worked great for me.

EZ Off huh? Interesting. I'll let him know that as well. I think he used the WD40 trick and a plastic blade. The wheel wells suck. Would paint thinner or something work in there?
