This just happend today, picked up a filing cabinet for our new basement and saw this. It looks abit worse in person, although there isnt to much on the car itself, most of it is on the rim/tire


Whats the best way to get this crap off :confused:

Although i did get a good picture of my car in the rain. Squirrles keep dropping nuts on my car, in a few minutes 2 squirrels are going to fall out of that tree into the road :mad2:

Clay Bar?

"Goof Off" will get it but first try it on a small inconspicuous spot to see if it will harm the clear coat.....I have used it on the Marauder many times!!:beer:

Good Luck!!

where might 1 get this "goof off"?

[Marauderjack]

Wal-Mart in the paint department!!:D

[MACFORD88]

Goof Off Will Do The Trick.it May Also Remove That Bow Tie I See In Center Of Wheel.

[RCSignals]

Contact the city streets maintenance

[BAD MERC]

Shoot it. It's a chevy. A little Xylene will take it off but go sparingly and use it only as a last resort. Vigorous rubbing will damage the clearcoat.

No way! My marauder cant tow 8000lbs :P

[BigCars4Ever]

Maybe i will, Maybe i will :)

The reason why it picked up the roadpaint is because it's a GM vehicle and they tend to attract *****ty things. If he were in the MM, it would have bounced off the paint.

Kind of an "I'm rubber and you're glue" thing right?

[Aren Jay]

goo gone might work.

especially if there is a good clear coat or wax under the new paint.

[rvaldez1]

My Gfs car was once tagged with spraypaint, so I went to my hardware store to get a concensus on what woulf be best to remove it... When I came back her car was perfect... she cleaned it with nail polish remover, clearcoat was perfect too!

I cant argue to much, but atleast the GM's tend not to squeak or rattle ;)

Our old 03 yukon took 6 rocks to the windsheild and not 1 spider crack, but we got a good deal on a replacement. Lasted to 100k miles, so so close to putting a K&N on it, had it out of the box, but got the new tahoe instead :D


And if we were in the MM it WOULD have gotten paint on it and i woulda been screaming the F word so loud i'd have the cops called on me, probably end up in court for assult.

My sister saved me a ton of money and time by removing paint from trim in a rental house I have. Gals know there stuff, don't they?

Ya, but dont let her know I said that. ;)

[CRUZTAKER]

Let us know what you use, and how it worked.
I have a similar problem...better than 50% of my Marauder has gold gasket over spray that I have yet to figure out how to remove.

Used goo gone on the doors, came right off, but the wheels remain, ill probably make a run to wal mart to get that goof off

[knine]

Menards has goof-off also. +1 on the fingernail polish remover, it will take anything off.

including the paint? :poke:

[ixlr8]

This happened to me once with a truck I had, but I maintained the finish pretty well so that I just let the paint cure and I was able to carefully "pop" the yellow bits off with my fingernail. It was quite tedious, but I got it all.

How on earth did you manage to get that all over your car?? :confused:

Yes i picked some off also, but that takes to long and im a lazy lazy man ;)

First off just relax, it's only a car:) Stop by the dealerships body shop, talk to them. Easy!

Yes 100% just a car:)

Fun to drive, fun to own, still just a car:P

Ok...no problem trying goo-gone. That's the orange base stuff correct?

The Goof-off is the powerfull stuff I believe...or is it the other way around?

Goo gone is he citrus based stuff. But try it somewhere inconspicuous first

Yes it is and it doesnt harm any clear coat, or my dad woulda stopped on paint spot 1 ;)

[GordonB]

You might try mineral spirits paint thinner, the oil based kind. I have found this to be less damaging than Goo Gone. Can also try WD-40 as well. The more Oily the product and the less volitle (sp?) the better.

When almost done, use a good polish IMMEDIATELY.

[BigCars4Ever]

WD-40? It has 1000+ uses.

[my_rodder]

I had a guy tell me an old trick. the super fine gojo on the tires with a toothbrush. I have not done this myself yet, I had new tires put on and they have paint marks on them. I plan on trying it when I wash next! Good Luck.:)

[Aren Jay]

Everytime I see this I think it says Tatoo, not Tahoe.

I wonder how he did that and then I realise my error and skip the thread.

[mtenderenda]

Use the clay bar...STAY AWAY FROM GOOF OFF.....
