Brand new to these forums. Have been a detailing enthusiast for years, but still am an apprentice in action. Current project is removing paint from my wife's car: paint container fell off of a contractor's truck - I believe latex house paint. I'm currently trying to figure out how to upload photos of progress. A little background, Hurricane Michael hit Panama City and didn't directly hurt my cars but the aftermath with all the construction vehicles and their hauls: nails, rocks, cement, paint, and all other construction materials, have been hell to other vehicles.

Re: Greetings and salutations.
Welcome jkat! Good luck with the paint removal. It can be tedious, but if you have some patience in your bag, and maybe some Motsenbocker's Graffiti Remover, you should be fine.John @ HillCityAutoDetail.com

Re: Greetings and salutations.
So far mothers synthetic clay (using wash bucket as lube) and megs scratch x have worked on painted panels, blue scotch scrubber sponge and dawn (very long and tedious with tons of elbow grease) worked on trim. Last part I need to figure is wheel wells. I failed at goo gone & motsenbocker's adhesive remover. I see there's motsenbocker's latex paint remover would that work better than graffiti remover/ lift off #4 ?Comment

Re: Greetings and salutations.
I tried several of the Motsenbocker products until I landed on the Graffiti Remover, it seems to work better, on more kinds of paint. Dwell time is a necessity. Don't expect a spray on, wipe off type of process. Let it sit on there at least 10 min, without letting it dry if you're working outside. Plastic razor blade and a net covered sponge are good for the actual removal tools.John @ HillCityAutoDetail.com
