With a minimum of elbow grease, the stains came right out and the only thing left behind was a really nice wax job. He's had this stuff in his garage for god knows how many years and the result was magical. Add my father's urging (I didn't think it was going to work), manually scrub with Turtle Wax Scratch and Swirl Remover using a warm, damp microfiber cloth. This also left an annoying whitish film all over that I had to wash off with #2.Ĥ. With a TON of elbow grease, a tiny little bit came off, but not enough that this was a practical solution. manually scrub with homemade solution of 2 tbsp baking soda and 2(ish) cups of warm water using microfiber cloth. manually scrub with 'generic' car wash/wax solution and warm water, using sponge (nope), microfiber cloth (nope), and bristle brush (nope).ģ. After reading this question/answer thread this past weekend, I tried a few things:ġ. I'm in the US and have not heard of the solution mentioned in the preferred answer. My best guess was that this was some kind of terrible calcified/rust/paint mixture dripping through cracks in the ceiling of my parking garage. I had two large orange drops of some unknown but very difficult to remove stuff on the top of my 2005 white car, along with splatter (indicating that this had dripped onto my car from above while it was parked), and a long streak of runoff down the back of the vehicle. I love those erasers and use them until they are completely gone. Interior scuff marks from boots on light plastic were also instantly removed. The eraser also removed carpet stains even Folex couldn't touch. The eraser is just that mechanical part with no abrasives or solvents to damage the paint. I believe that in any scenario that works, the key part is the mechanical aspect of removal.

Chemically, both your car's paint and the foreign paint are the same so a solvent like goo-gone, acetone, etc. Rubbing compound will take off your paint even if done by hand. The foreign paint had then baked in the SoCal sun for years before I tried to fix it. The scrapes were so severe that they left scratches on the plastic bumper and cladding. I removed horrendous amounts of paint due to encounters with a short yellow bollard and a white stucco house. It takes a while, but there is zero chance of harming the painted surface since it is not an abrasive. Clean magic eraser and water worked better than anything mentioned above.

How do i get paint off my car
