So apparently somehow I dripped 3 spots of white paint on my mom's Black Merc S500.

How the hell do I get these out?!?!

 

might wanna ask this in the wash & wax section.

 

you should just start running...as fast as you can

 

 

the savior of paint drips.

 

overspray maybe, but i dont know about paint drips...that makes me believe larger paint drops...what kind of paint and how large are the drips...i would start with the clay, and maybe move into a compound...someone else will chime in with more help...take a pic so they know what they are to prescribe...

 

hit it with some water first, if it's some cheapy latex paint, it should come right off. If not, then move on to claying the car.

 

What type of paint?

 

latex paint will just peel off. like Jess said, what kind of paint?

Dont think you will need to go as far as compounding. did you let the drops dry, or did you try to wipe it up and left streaks?

You COULD use nail polish remover, and then just wax the spots over, and your mom's will NEVER know

 

how many moms does he have....

 

Some nail polish removers are acetone based and not very clear coat friendly.

 

Goof off (Xylene). Works every time.

 

It was a lingo term (sorry i say moms on a regular basis instead of "mom").

Yeah thats why I said hit it with some good wax. my gf uses acetone free nail polish remover which should do the trick... IDK though

 

I think goo gone is better than goof off. Feel as though goof off was a replication of goo gone, but without the citric acids.....

 

Xylene is not at all cleat coat friendly and may lead to clear coar failure.
You won't see the failure immediatly ..

Phew!! False alarm! The paint was some cheap-o paint and it came off during today's rain!

Thanks anyway guys!

 

Perfect .. glad it all worked out ...

 

Geeeeeez, I was just getting ready to add my $.02!

 

After taxes you still have left?? Ok I'm moving down there....

 

Wrong! Move down here and face being broke. Thousand Oaks is an expensive southern California spot! You're way better up there in Canada where rent isn't $1000/mo for a one bedroom!

Just my $.02!!
