removing road divider paint !!!
 

Hello.

I've been on a mission to detail my car to almost -as new- condition.

On the lower part of the 928 there is plastic cladding along with white road divider line paint.

It is significant enough to want to remove. Some blobs are around-.020 in height.
I can remove some with my finger nail without damage to the paint.
But on most, I'm breaking nails here!!-to the point of pain.- I am no hand model.

I've been using Maguier's polish with good results on the whole but god help me if I let it dry.

It essentially doe's nothing for these city caused graffiti on my car.

What doe's one use?-Scraping a bit with a plastic blade perhaps?-I'd rather use a rubbing compound. Is that the key, or is it too harsh.
Thankyou

From another thread...

I removed paint from my car (lane marking paint) with claybar, acetone, Goof-off and rubbing compound. Put a nice coat of wax on after and you couldn't tell a thing had happened. Be careful with acetone!!

Careful with the acetone--how do you mean?

Thankyou.
-btw-are you Hungarian?

I'm Polish (or at least 1/2 Polish). Acetone is dangerous , so be sure you wear nitrile gloves, have adequate ventilation and test the area to be treated 1st. A little goes a long way...

Thanks- for the warning-never worked with it before !
Anyway-Polish-You are then related to 'the Labowski' then.

Yep, I'm the dude!

Acetone is not for a few spots that are .020 thick. You are right to pick them off as you can with a plastic tool or a small, small blunt edge. Just knock them off sideways.

For those that won't come off, you may have to resort to chemicals or polishing compounds. Search removing+paint and several threads will come up in various forums here and elsewhere.
