The other day I painted my garden fence with one of those Cuprinol paint sprayers.

The cars were parked, what I thought, was a good distance away, and there was little or no wind...or so I thought

Our cars are now covered in little green speccles

They do come off but I have to scrub fairly hard, and it is taking ages. I have tried standard car polish but this doesn't really help, and I'm thinking that turps will be too harsh

Does anyone know of a product out there that would do the trick ?

Thanks in advance

 

Only one thing to do. Get yourself down to your local halfords or something better and get some ClayBar and quick detailer. Megueirs do a pack.
Lots of lube with the QD and clay like mad.

Also post this query in the car care section for some more detailed advice

 

T-Cut should do the job

 

I'd deffo try claying it before resorting to the likes of T Cut, especially on the Audi!

 

Clay bar should do the trick. Use plenty of lube though

Jiff works too or Brasso. But very diluted. Lube is not important, but "solution" is.

 

Just finish the job and do it green.

 

 

Water isn't considered a "lubricant" however, when sharpening knives, you can use water on your stone to keep the particles in solution, or solvent. Like when using "wet and dry" water is not really a lubricant.

 

Get a can of gun cleaner from your local bodywork place, a gentle wipe will remove it. (Be careful if you had a recent paintwork done, as it may still be a bit soft.) It worked a treat when my 5 series became a little speckled following a carpark refurb.

Not on my push bike mate never mind a Audi

 

Yes you can if you know what you are doing.

 

You nearly forgot to mention to use an iron wool scourer for the best effect! haha

 

Some people, I dunno. I have used the "technolgy" I have listed to great effect on an Audi 80 and on a Landrover Discovery...y'know, the dico's with very thin paint and soft birmabright body panels, as well as many other cars and paint finishes.

 

Yes, I did add a and a as I could see where you were coming from, re the concept of using a tiny bit of abrasive in solution.
Just felt like pulling your chain a bit

As above, there are probably easier and less risky ways for beginners (like moi) to clean stuff off paintwork with though, I would think.

 

FWIW T Cut woked a treat and lifted all the speccles off
