Title: Paint Specks
Post by: mb on October 14, 2016, 07:35:04 pm

Washed the car today and noticed white specks down the passenger side. It looks like I've driven through some paint spilt on the road at some point. Any idea how I can remove it? I did have a very quick go at it with a bit of clay bar but it didn't shift, more elbow grease maybe?!

Thanks

maybe try a little dab of white spirit on a rag to soften the paint splats, then maybe a cut polish G3 or the like on a DA?

Try a bit of tar remover? I use auto finesse obliTARate but there are a lot of other similar products. Try not to use anything to aggressive or scrub too much or you'll inflict marks and then need to give it a polish.
