UGH! Yellow paint spots everywhere!

Michelle · #1 08-18-2006, 10:38 AM

I noticed last week that I must've driven on some freshly painted yellow lines because I had a few yellow paint speckles on the X. Well, after I washed it last night, I found they are much, much, much worse than I originally thought.

What is the easiest/best way to remove them?

if it's on the paint, try bug and tar remover or a clay bar. If it's in the wheel well and such, use dab of paint thinner. Looks like you got some work ahead of ya! poor michelle!

Bug and Tar remover and/or clay bar.... drive on down to VA and ask JV for help, or pay to take it to a detailer.

My 528i had those. It took lots o' elbow grease to remove them. I used 3M paint thinner on the fender liners. The good news was that the fresh coat of wax I had just applied made the paint very easy to remove with some spray detailer and several soft cotton towels.
