Default Paintball paint splatter on my bonnet/bumper, strange marks

I was at Delta Force in South West London the other weekend and noticed a few splashes on the bonnet when I came out after a cracking day with some mates, I thought nothing of it as on previous occasions its washed out of my clothes with no problems, anyway, my mate wiped it down with a towel and i thought nothing more of it until I washed the car today.

I noticed lots of scuff marks, thing is i dont think they're from the towel as they're totally flat, I cant feel a bump at all, its almost like the paintball paint has reacted to the paint on the car, no amount of scrubbing could move it, my front bumper now looks a complete mess now the car is clean.

Anyone know whats in the paintballs (i heard it was food dye mainly), bit annoyed actually, if it was ON the surface I could clean it up but its somehow done something underneath the paint.

I'll take some pics in a moment, but in the mean time, anyone thinking of going there should NOT park up on the external fence as instructed by the marshalls or you'll suffer the same fate!!!

meguires step 1,2&3 will sort out the paintball stuff. Also if there's a few small scratches the meguires scratch x stuff will also sort that as well...

very good stuff indeed imho
