Default Yellow Road Stripe Paint, removal questions...

Well, they painted the lines on one of the roads I take every day, and I couldn't tell if it was dry or still wet this morning, so I was driving very carefully.

Long story short, another driver did something, forcing me to swerve, and looking out my office window at the 911 right now, I can see some yellow road paint that made its way onto my fender flares in front of the rear tires.

Does anyone have any secret formulas or techniques to get it off?

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Quick detailer spray and a clay bar. Then p21s or a high end polish to restore what the clay bar removed from the finish...

Excellent, that is what I thought, just wanted to tap the brain trust.

I would have gone for the WD40, it's good at getting stuff off, but fairly gentle on the paint.

The clay bar was the shiznit. Took it off like a champ. Cleaned and waxed the whole car getting her nice and pretty. In month, I am taking it in for a clear bra to include removing the factory ones and putting a little larger ones on the rear quarters.
