help me wash my car please
yesterday my car was shot with paint balls (the main target) and it was mostly yellow.. today i washed most of the paint off (it was pretty oily), but now theres some stains left over.. how can i clean these off without damaging the paint? i dont wanna scrub it too hard in case i destroy the paint, but these stains are ugly, looks like the car was crying or bleeding
the gray one!??!?!??!

i thought paint balls were 100% water based
Use a paint cleaning wax.

dunno, but these are oily and now the cars all sticky
whats that? i might have to try that if what im gonna try next dont work
im about to try some dish washing detergent, see if that works
they are water based... but still do havoc on car paint..
if you tired car soap... you might have to use dish soap.. this will take ANYTHIGN OFF includeing all wax.... so if it comes down to dish soap you will want to give it a few new coats of wax right after.... but use that as a last resort... and you should be able to scrub a bit with regualr auto soap... just be sure to use a nice soft sponge or cloth
Over here we have different waxes, one that cleans your paint. It is a little rougher than other waxes, it cleans up my paint really well.yes

aww man paint balls.. that sucks.. at least it wasnt bologna.. that sucks also..haha
one day I'll return.
its taken me since my last post till now, to clean my bonnet back to 98% mint, well now theres a whole car left to clean now, which was even worse than the bonnet
and that was dish washing soap i used
edit: after the bonnet has now dried, i still see a few marks left, so id say its about 80% mint

eggs also eat your paint like crazy. hope you get those stains out.
damn weak
yeah, i was like damn lucky it wasnt eggs, i'll neevr forget when my old car got egged lol
do you have some 3gee haters in your neighborhood or something?
yea, brake cleaner kills like no other tho.
if i were you id find those son's of bitches and kill them all!!!
Use a basic bug and tar remover, if it removes tar and dried up bugs is should clean up paint balls pretty easily.
^^thanks i tthink i saw something tar & bug related in the garage, i'll have to go see if it works
nah, female sisters, think its funny to piss off their younger brother and attempt to ruin his car just cause its the oldest one here
also heard about brake fluid killing paint, i put some on another car and it didnt even hurt the paint, or clean the mess on there lol. but sure aint risking it on my grey one
if left on, brake fluid will eat straight to the metal , and balogna leaves polka dots (not that ive ever done that to anyone...)
hope you can get it lookin good tho.
Pics?
Anyway, after washing it out with dish washing soap, try polishing out the paint and put a coat of wax on it.
I am surprized you are not asking how to fix dozens of dings, paiintball guns can pop pretty hard.

yea, id try that too
A few years ago my son shot some paint balls up in the air, and they came down on my bright white Volvo. He washed them off and forgot about it. The next day I looked at the car and said WTF? By then, no soap worked, but I did get the stains out with a fine rubbing compound, like a clear coat polish, but a little more abrasive. The Volvo did not have a clear coat however, it was just enamel. So I don't know if that would help you. You do have a stain though, no soap is going to reach it.
thats why my lx-i is coved in the back

brake fluid lifts paint, unless the paint is super epoxy or some extremley hard attermarket paint. The thinner it is the less likely it will penetrate though, and brake cleaner eats plastic, I've seen it even shatter lexan and plexigals if it gets near dirll holes or open places.There are different formulations of it so, you can't say a blanket statement it does the same thing all the time. fyi
