Ok,

Last night i parked my xB in front of my garage at my apartment instead of inside of it (Dumb, i know, you will soon find out why) ANYWAYS, i come out to get in my xB and i notice paint dots all over my front fender, come to find out, they were painting the apartments this morning, and i got TINY dots of yellow paint all over my front fender now... Is their ANYTHING anyone can recommend to get this off? And what steps to take...

 

when i painted my tails with red lense paint, i did not mask well enuff and paint got on the inside of my hatch. it was all over the place. i took the sponges with the mesh on it soaked with soapy water and scrubbed really hard. it took awhile but the paint came off. i would try the same thing. don't worry it doesn't hurt the clearcoat.

 

Try detailing clay. Very safe and not too agressive, but should easily remove tiny doys of paint.

 

Like dishwasher soap or car wash? Because I was gonna try and use dishwasher soap, strip off the wax and scrub the crap out of it. And then wax the fender like 3 times, lol... See if that works...

 

no , no dish soap! i was talking about car wash soap. never use dish soap.

 

Yep. That'll do it without much trouble at all.

 

Do NOT Scrub hard! Our paint is too soft and it will scratch. First try some WD40 if that doesn't disolve it try some 90% rubbing alcohol. If that still doesn't do it try some carb cleaner on the tip of your finger inside a papertowell. These things should disolve the paint then just finish up with a good coat of wax.

 

should i still strip the wax with dish soap though? I mean ive put some detailer and stuff over it, before I actually noticed it..

 

First, wash the car thoughtly and then dry. Then try the products I've mentioned in the same order. They will also remove whatever protectant you put over the un-wanted paint specks. After all the paint spots are removed, re-wax the area a couple times to keep it protected.

 

...or use a clay detailing bar.

 

Clay, FTW. I hate harsh chemicals, and I do not use anything that requires scrubbing hard, especially if the surface is abrasive.

 

Clay works on light overspray (haze) but prolly not on actual drops. It needs to de dissolved so the 3 WD or rubbing alcohol would need to do that. Have you tried anything yet to see how hard the paint is?

 

Or you could complain to your apartment managers and demand that they or their contractor pay to have it done. That way you won’t have to worry about scratching your paint trying to get it off yourself.

 

I was thinking about doing this but doubt they would do anything about it,

Im going to try everything you guys have mentioned I have clay, and im going to try just a small area first with the rubbing alcohol, and I will letcha know how it goes...

 

Sounds good. Try a very small spot out of the way and see how or if it disolves the paint and go from there but do let us know how it goes.

 

Try a small spot first. And if it doesn't come out, then I would definitely try to hit up your landlord. Never hurts to try. Especially if they are responsible for it, considering that the building paint matches the paint specs on your car.

 

Budsmoke is right. It's either going to disolve easy or not at all. If not let a pro remove it and have the lanlord or his insurance pick up the tab. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be a nice guy.
