Hi all,

I washed my MY00 deep blue mica classic yesterday and noticed loads of small white paint spots on my bonnet, roof and front arches!

I think some workmen were painting across a unit white across the road when I was at work last week.

It wasnt until I washed the car that I noticed them.

They are very small, I will post a pic up later but wanted to know the best way to remove them. They are on the windscreen too but I can get rid of them with a sharp razor.

Any help would be much appreciated - my mint scoob is no longer mint and Im well miffed!

Cheers.

Clay bar should remove it. I'm sure I read a similar thing on here very recently with a neighbour painting a house or fence and some drift ended up on a car.

as has been said use a clay bar and some lube mate, that should shift them

Ryo

Thanks for the responses guys.

At risk of sounding a bit of a fool - I've never used a clay bar or lube before, can you throw a couple of brand names up here so I know I'm buying the right stuff.

Cheers all.

Im going to look for that other post you mentioned too.

I washed and clayed the wifes car today. The paintwork still has brown speckles on it from the Chav across the road spraying his fence with Cuprinol Sprayer thingy. I am well miffed as I didn`t want to damage the paint by rubbing too hard. Have you any suggestions to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

You shouldnt damage the paint Bug, the clay bar picks up all the crap on the surface of the paint/clearcoat.As long as you keep the area which is being clay WELL LUBED so that the clay doesnt stick to the car you should be able to rub harder.

Cheers lads, can't really add to the above, a clay bar is the way to solve both the white paint and the fence paint problems. It may take hours, but it's a safe and effective way of doing it - we did an Audi TT recently that needed 4.5 hours of claying after a fence painting incident, and a Lexus 4x4 over the weekend that needed the same to remove cement spots.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for all the tips guys.

I used a clay bar at the weekend, it did take a long time, but 99% of spots are gone (just the ones I missed remain!).

Gotta say, I was well impressed with the results - Clay Bar Rocks!

I kept singing that "gay bar" song out loud whilst giving the motor some love:

Im gonna give you the Clay Bar
Im gonna clean it with the Clay Bar
Im gonna love you with the Clay Bar, Clay Bar, Clay Bar!

At which point the wife dis-owned me and walked off.
