Hey guys,

Was driving to work yesterday afternoon and noticed a big patch of blue on the road just as I came out of a roundabout. Saw a crushed can of paint nearby and was able to avoid the guts of it, but unfortunately caught the edges of the spill and now have bright blue patches on my tyres, guards and a splash of paint spots all the way down my right side doors. The right air dam caught most of it, but am not sure how best to tackle it. I have paint protection and they gave me a kit which includes a bug and tar removal treatment, though will have to read the back to see if it's OK to use. Checked a few general forums online and nail polish remover seems to be preferred method. Any suggestions or tips would be much appreciated.

I would ring the paint protection company and ask them....

Worst come to worst I would get some kerosene and lightly try with that...

I am not 100% Sure though.

Same thing happened to me, I managed to get it off with some polish soon after it happened.

I would take your car straight to a crash repairs shop.

I would not take advice from people who are unsure as it could be an expensive repair if you ruin you paint.

I use I believe it is called prep-sol on my paint to remove tar etc.

The main thing is to attempt to get it off fast before it drys up.

From Memory bug and tar remover is mostly prepsol, I know on my old car when I painted by bumpers with bumper paint I had some over spray on the paint this took it right off.
