Question When yellow lines attack.

Anyone have any tips on how to get yellow line paint off of your car.

I was coming around a turn yesterday and apparently they had just painted the lines but I couldn't see the trucks because they where around the turn and got some paint on my x.

Edit: Also I know that in PA the state will pay to take the paint off, any one know if MD is the same way?

clay bar, buffer and polish will usually pull it off assuming your vehicle had a pretty good was job to start with. The other day, using that method, I removed cart lines from my fathers Mustang.

you should be good. If you have a quality buffer, you can get that out.

Never heard of that happening Usually they will fault the driver.

But MD is a POS state when it comes to those kinds of rules.
