DRYHEAT Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I did not back the car out of the garage quite enough when I hit the close button for the automatic door. The garage door left several streaks of latex house paint on the lower lip (painted/clear coat) of the C6 coupe. I don't want to be too aggressive with chemicles/rubbing compound so I thought I wouls ask before I F'd something up. TIA UPDATE:I finally decided to take the car to the A.C.E. Detail Ace: Ted "Crazy Shine" Yoder! (I want to thank Extender32 for your generous offer!) This turned out to be a very good move; Ted IS the man! I initially thought (after careful CSI-type flashlight inspection) that I had done more damage to the C6's paint than just the latex garage door paint transfer... I feared I was going to need a painter. Ted found out otherwise and with his buffer and polish restored it to pre idiot-shutting-garage-door-on-nose-of-Corvette condition. And true to his word there was no charge for this. After: Thank you Ted. I will send any detail business to you, whether on my cars or others. You ARE the man!

Extender32 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 A Porter Cable or Flex along with some McGuires 205 should take it out. I have both if you want to stop by the house and I can see about getting it out for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I agree, a buffer with a little 205 first and step it up a notch if that doesn't do the job. BTW you've got the ACE finger point down perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRYHEAT Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thanx Extender32 & Eddie44. That is a great offer Ex32, I will contact you next week. I have worked a lot on the ACE finger point, the hard work has paid off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extender32 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I work 11-8PM M-F so Sat or Sun afternoon next week works best for me or any weekend for that matter. This weekend would be OK too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

az57chevy Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 If you just have latex house paint, spray a little WD40 and rub (and hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Or just use your fingernail and scrape it off. Should come right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRYHEAT Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Finally got some time this AM to try both the WD-40 and fingernail ideas. Will have to go to plan B: Ted Y or Extender32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F22trainer Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Isopropyl and Methanol alcohol are both solvents for latex paint - and will not affect the clear coat, microfiber towel wil insure no further scratches. Then polish as suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
