[n'drew]

clay, cut, polish.

[ChyahGT]

woahh i saw u driving today! i was like.. "is that a paint job?? /shrug"

[Nvasion]

clay, cut, polish.


maybe use some graffiti remover first? but clay should work

acetone is your friend. we used it on my friends car when it got vandalized

Would acetone damage the car's clear coat and paint?

[weitaro]

nice British Green Racing stripe!

joke aside... definitely try some low abrasive compound.

[TOPEC]

grad prank?

but try clay bar first, it'll be slow, but it should be able to remove the green paint without damaging the car's original paint much.

[Harvey Specter]

Wow, wtf....

Post in the car detailing section, I'm sure someone will be able to give you more information if it's possible to remove it with a buffer.

[!Tigger]

clay bar works... it happened to my parents car a long time ago too...

[yoall]

nail polish remover?

Acetone is to strong. you must water it down.

Good luck. I hate people who does things like that. WTF.

[ilvtofu]

i wonder if u can write it off and get a fancy new paintjob on that section

[asian_XL]

DO NOT DO ANYTHING...

drive your car to ICBC...those inspectors there will do the magic for you. It's free.

[ilvtofu]

yeah man, for the amount of insurance you probably pay on that car, just use it

[trd2343]

Thanks for all the replies + help.
If I am going through ICBC, would I have to pay a deductible for this?

[ilvtofu]

yup, so it'll probably be more expensive than the above said methods to remove it.

[iamed]

for a job like this, the inspectors will probably do it for you for free. They're probably just going to rub it off with methods posted above anyway

[bob_chan]

I hate vandals..... :flamemad:

If they do, make sure you polish it after. The stuff they use might be hard on you clearcoat.

[124Y]

It makes me furious just thinking how immature one can be vandalizing other's properties... don't they have any empathy? What if I did that to their car?

But yea, try using a clay bar...

[fliptuner]

Fuck buddy, try living in Coquitlam when that piece of shit, cocksucker was running around for months, keying cars.

[ilvtofu]

only takes a couple of lowlifes to make anything (such as car ownership, jobs etc.) so much worse. Disgusting.

My friend lives in Coq, his car got keyed along with his whole neighboorhood... I think there was a lot of news story's on this.

If i saw someone Vandalize someones cars I'd stock them, and god knows what I'd do.

[thumper]

will he be required to file a police report for a vandalism claim?
