Road striping removal help

[mightemouce]

Pervious owner of my car drove through wet yellow stripes on the road and now I have the fun task of removing it. I've been slowing working away at it with rough towel and its been coming off just takes forever and trying to be careful to not make any scratches. If anyone can provide me with tip on how to remove this somewhat easier would be great.

Thanks

how long has it been there?

you can try the following



if that doesn't work then Clay ( mild to aggressive),

if clay fails, Then a light abrasive polish.

If polish fails, then compound.

all the above steps is better than a rough towel and elbow grease.

Is a pigmented resin system, very high in solids with a colour aggregate and is more like an adhesive than paint; it contains silica (glass) micro beads that help reflect light, however they can cause scratches if you use mechanical removal.

Correction / Removal - use 3M Adhesive Remover and detailer’s clay or a plastic razor blade, 3M Eraser Wheel Detailer’s Clay or try wet-sanding with 2000 - 2500 grit finishing paper and a Unigrit block.

For heavy accumulations or paint that has dried for several days on the vehicles paint surface, apply a liberal coating of Vaseline to the dried traffic paint and allow to remain overnight and then pressure wash. This should remove most of the traffic paint. If not, repeat the procedure.

Road Paint Remover (wipes) – TOTL; Lay the smooth side of the wipe over the contamination to saturate the surface. Let it sit for about one minute to soften the paint. Use the textured side of a new wipe and rub vigorously. Use firm pressure and a lot of action. Particularly difficult cases may take a second application.

Once you have removed the road paint, wash off the chemical with shampoo and a spot polish should bring back the original shine. (Do not use on paint that is less than 90 days old) The same technique can be used for old tar removal.
