White Road Paint on my Black Car - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys, just looking for some advice.

I have small little specks of white road paint on the door and fender of my black mustang.

Someone told me to use WD40 and my finger nail to get it off. This does work however it takes forever and I still have a long way to go.

Is there something better that will get the job done faster?

Thanks

You can use a clay bar. Most autoparts stores sell clay bar kits that includes a clay bar, some type of detail spray that serves as a clay bar lubricant allowing the bar to glide over the paint, and a towel of some sort. Just make sure you are using a non-abrasive clay bar.

If some spots don't come off with the clay bar, I use car wax and an old credit card. Wax for the lube, just be gentle and it will clear them fast. Happened on my old black Firehawk, man I was !@#$%. But it worked. Took awhile.
