On a recent trip home from Ottawa I have somehow accumulated splash up of that god awful yellow road paint. Does anyone have any luck getting this stuff off? I took it to one detailer who had the truck a whole day then announced they couldn't do anything with it. Another detailer I called wants $350. I found a U.S. site selling stuff they call road paint remover and in the blurb they say it was originally developed as an adhesive spray remover.

 

I thought that CTC sold some stuff specifically for removing road paint.
Somehow I don't think Goo Gone will do the job on road paint jike it does on crayon.

I'll check it out thanks.

 

Would oven cleaner work for this? I've seen it used to take off spray paint.

mcguires sells a clay block that works wonders worked for me jsut make sure you keep the car very wet with soapy water and a spray bottle

 

i agree with cdncowboy i had this happpen and i used a clay bar. i had to really work at it but it did come out i had to use meguair's scratch x afterwords and you could never tell it was there.

 

the road paint remover wipes seem interesting. i wonder how well they work??

 

Before truck lettering became mostly vinyl stickers and hand painted was the common method, removal was done with oven cleaner and had reasonable results.
The only question is whether or not road paint is about the same material as lettering paint?
I personally would try a very small amount of oven cleaner, or any product for that matter, on a spot where any damage would not be noticable if it reacted with the truck finish.

Yeah, I'd found that earlier, but I didn't want to be waiting for it to get shipped up. Was hoping I could get something local like at CTC. I have oven cleaner for the BQQ already, I'll try that first. If not I'll look for the Miguire's clay. The wipes aren't a bad idea I just didn't want the hassle of ordering chemicals from over the border.

 

There should be an equivalent product in Canadian Stores.

CTC ?
How about CT. Canadian Tire ?

or a Bodyshop supply place

 

Canadian Tire calls themself CTC - Canadian Tire Corp.

 

Okay he just threw me off a little.

 

Thanks for the save, I thought maybe I was giving away my age.

 

Us old guys have to stick together there Dennis with expressions like hi-test, diggers, rails and CTC.
