so on tuesday i washed my car while at work...when finishing up the car, i put my tire dressing on before i clean my windows so i can wipe clean the haze/mist that the spray leaves...normally this is great, untill i tried black magic's new matte black finish...sprayed this on my tires, it was a little windy and i had little pin sized dots on my windows...thought, no big deal, wrong...after 3x using window cleaner and steaming hot water and soap, they're still there and it's annoying the shit out of me, anyone have any techniques to take this off? thanks

 

I think Black Magic uses silicone in their products. Try using a 50/50 of Water and IPA. That should breakdown the silicone or whatever substance is on there.

 

as i am a retarded noob, i'd like to ask what IPA is? and thanks for the quick reply, i appreciate it

 

Isopropyl Alcohol I think

 

Yup, good ol rubbing alcohol.......
Use it full strength.......And if you think it missed the paint, your wrong.....

 

Product you spray on your tires FTL.

 

this is why you never spray tire dressing onto your tires...always use an applicator....spray tire crap on a sponge and then wipe it onto your tires....

 

i dont see any overspray on the paint...i think that all came off after i rinsed the car down again and 921...so i guess i'll just go home at lunch and pour some rubbing alcohol on a rag and wipe away?

 

if its on your windows, its on your paint...but your right, you probably washed it away....

 

paper towel or terry cloth FTW

 

From reading the title of this thread, I would suggest IPA might stand for India Pale Ale!

 

My first thought too

Sometimes I wish the "IPA Alcohol" containers in my lab were

 

my wifes car had this sticky stuff and it was greasy, i took it to the car wash and they washed it....it did nothing...then they told me to wax it, and it all came off...used some elbow grease, but it worked...i think that should do the trick...wax it, let dry for 15 min, then wipe off..maybe a second time.. even on the windows...

 

waxing does nothing to a finish with the exception of putting a layer of protection down...now if you were using a cleaner wax, then that would be a different story...work easy not hard...if you have something on your paint that you want off, use a paint cleaner...
