Hey Guys,

While driving home last night i must have ran over some sort of paint line or spill and have paint it appears on the side rail bars and in some on the rear wheel wells. Is there anything on the market i can buy to remove this?

Anything from an auto parts store i can pick up ........THANKS

A claybar will take that stuff right off.

I was gonna suggest you go to a spray wash and hit it with soap, then a good rinse. Or, if you have a pressure washer at home, that could do the trick too.

Hey Muddydawg75 close.....it was off the WAlt Whitman Bridge....Didnt even see it because it was at night. I was hoping the clay bar would do the trick so thanks gmpartsdude. But when it comes to the wheel wells and the step bars on the side will that work as well? Or is there something else.

I took it too the car wash the next morning but its still on there.......Chris

THANKS GUYS

for the wheelwells and the textured step bars you might be able to go with something like a household scrubber.... the Magic Eraser might do the trick...
