A while ago, some spray paint somehow got on my car, and I spent quite some time dealing with it myself. I tried using a clay bar to gently rub it off, but the results were mediocre. Then I bought a specialized paint remover, sprayed it on, waited for 5 minutes to let it soften, and then wiped it off with a soft cloth—being careful not to scrub too hard and scratch the original paint. Always test in an inconspicuous spot first to ensure safety before proceeding. After finishing, I gave the car a thorough wash and applied wax to protect the paint’s shine. Normally, I make sure to park away from construction areas to prevent such issues in the first place. The DIY process was quite therapeutic, and having the right tools made all the difference—it only took about ten minutes in total.
