Auto body repair & detailing: How to remove spray paint, fingernail polish remover, spray removal


Question
My truck recently got a few spray paint marks on it, and I was wondering if there is anything possible or any way at all to remove it without chipping the regular paint off of the body of my truck?

Answer
Hi Michelle,

There are a couple of things you can try. Try using a fingernail polish remover that has acetone in it. This most likely will do the job. However, if that doesn't work you can try this item:

Be forewarned if you use these wipes you must neutralize the area where it was applied after you're finished or it will remove the factory finish all the way to the metal. This product works fabulous if used with caution. There are also other types of over-spray removal products on the market that will also but not as well. I hope this helps.
