White line paint removal...

[Panda.]

We've just picked up our new (to us) Fiesta. I've given it a wash this evening (one bucket and a sponge) and noticed lots of little spots of white paint on the bumper, bonnet and passenger side lower. I gave the bonnet a little go with some Super Resin Polish that were't int shed but no luck. The paint work is otherwise very good and Ink Blue is rather nice! Any ideas on the best way to get the white paint off?


Cheers.

Tar remover first then clay as necessary.

These are two things I've never done before lol! Any good value product recommendations? Will the tar remover help remove the white paint?

Cheers for the reply/help!

Tardis or Tar-x then bilt hamber medium clay (can use water as lube).

I had a clio in the other week that was covered in the stuff. Nothing, including thinners!! would get it off.

I ended up wet sanding the whole car.

...paint stripper?!







in all seriousness, white spirits might help, just be sure to clean the area after you have used it to get it off the bodywork.

I found that tar remover took a LONG time to remove spots of paint from my Dad's car.

Clay did the job much quicker.

I'll have a look for some thanks.

Lol! I'm not sure I trust myself to crack out the sand paper. The missus would freak! If Bristol wasn't a bazillion miles from Norfolk (even though they're almost one and the same) I'd come by (even if just to have another ride in the boot of the AMG...)

I did once use petrol to remove tar from the Clio to be fair.....

Looks like clay is the way to go...

As said id give it a try with Clay, Don't go rubbing too hard though, If it doesn't come off easily just give it plenty of light passes.

If it's not something overly comfortable doing I'm not a million miles away and would happily lend a hand.

Now there's an offer! Whereabouts near Norwich are you? I'm impatient and will probably get annoyed/aggressive and do more harm than good....

I'm south of Norwich in Halesworth but work in the city, If you have some outside space and a hose I'm happy to come to you, Sorting a day may be tricky as I work an unusual shift pattern.

Ah ok not all that far. We've a garage and big drive here or I've access to a proper wash bay and clean (for a farm!) workshop at work although don't mind coming down if its easier! In a couple of weeks we get mega busy with arable and herb harvest so I'll also be limited to days!!

Ok fella, We'll sort something, Sounds like it'll be easier to head your way as I just have my driveway.

Pm some dates that are good for you and we'll see what we can come up with.
