garage accident, how to remove house paint from side of car.
This isn't jeep related but hell, I know my jeep buddies will have
some suggestions. My girlfriend came over and accidently cut too close
when entering my garage.( the empty bay next to my 99TJ, hows that?)
She scraped the center post of the garage and got a good bit of
exterior house paint on her new maxima.( I know you're grinning) Ok,
now the car isn't dented but it's a mess with about an 8x16 inch
scrape across the back right door and the door guard trim is scraped
down to it's black primer. Before I go down the wrong patn, can
somebody instruct me on what to use to get the paint off? I've got
some Mcquires cleaner wax but don't know if that'll do it. don't know
if want to use rubbing compound on a 2003 vehicle.
thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the help, Those sites are good ones and I've bookmarked
them for future use. From what I'm learning, I need to wash the area
then rub it gently with mineral spirits first and then gradually apply
cleaner wax until the scraped paint is gone.It's going to take a while
to get this scraped paint off but at least I know I'm not making
matters worse.

Just to follow up; I went to Home Depot and bought a spray bottle of
Goof Off 2 and it worked great at removing the latex paint from the
clear coat. This stuff is water based,(smells kinda like bourbon to me
but thats another story),and I got the paint off without much effort
at all. I put a coat of wax onto the clear coat and it all looks
pretty good. Thanks for the detailing links.
