Not strictly Scooby related, but urgent so please leave for a little while

We have some cars at work which have been covered in tiny spots of blue paint due to careless building painters with their sprayguns.

Does anyone know if there is a good process to remove this paint without damaging the paintwork ?

Thanks

A clay bar would probably do the trick.

Mark Underwood's probably the geezer to ask.

DJ Dunk...a clay bar will remove the offending mess. The cars will need a quick waxing afterwards to give the gloss and protection back. Very simple proceedure...you can do or I can come and do them for you.

Thumbs up

Thanks Paul and Mark Looks like a clay bar is the thing for the job. We have them all booked in at a local valeters, reckons its a 5-6 hour job on each We'll see how that goes and I'll be in touch with you Mark if they can't do the job. We have an account with the valeters so have to use them first Would personally rather use the Wizard of Wax

And AndyP1 . . . thanks for the offer
