    Default best way to remove street paint

    When i came home i realized i drove over some fresh paint that the City uses to paint those yellow lines in the middle of the road,

    i have some inside my wheel wheel, on the tire and a little bit splashed up to my front fender

    is there a good way to remove this without damaging the paint? what are my options?

    thanks

    Brake fluid works great.

    Do it quickly, and clean off w/ soap and water. Then repolish the area.

    Will take it off in seconds.

    Worked great for me.

    Default Works on anything

    Use Gasline Antifeeze, My uncle used to work at a detail shop here in town they used to use this to remove paint, tar, scuff Marks and basically anything that gets on your vehicals paint.

    REALLY DOES WORK AND LEAVES YOUR PAINT LOOKING GREAT!

    It takes about 12 hours to start lifting paint.

    It won't do anything in the few seconds of contact w/ your car. It's an old trick.
