You can try prepsol, this is a general wax and grease cleaner used before painting a panel. We use this to get all finger prints and other marks off customer cars. Only definetly try it somewhere unseen as sometimes the old sun attacked rubber doesn't like it.

Agreed with above somewhere. Get onto it ASAP. Once this dries it will become a whole lot harder.

We had a spray paint can explode all over my car,got onto it straight away with prepsol and rags, got the majority off. The only stuff we didn't get was the bits we didn't see (dark blue paint on a slightly lighter blue) but it is not something I am worried about (the car is 26 years old), it was my father that did it and he paid for the car.

by the way, do you travel around bulleen and doncaster road much?

yeah I am sometimes on those roads, have you seen me before?

Yeah I am going to detail the car this week with my mate, he has all the right products, I have some pics but they are on my phone I will have to put them on tonight.

Thanks for all your help guys.

get this though, I was parking my car in visitors all last week and the start of this week and got told to move it, the day I move the car is the day it gets sprayed with paint, what a joke yeah, should have left it in visitors.

:stupid: Eew Aah, I know that feeling, the same thing happened to me in Bris about 20 years ago with my VL Turbo (only bought it because of the Nissan RB30 engine) It got covered in industrial crap that ate into the paint in 2 days. The guy that made me park it there died suddenly from a brain ambulism 3 weeks later. And they say voodoo doesn't work. :stupid:

Mate at least it wll come clean, and it will be better than it was it was and if you get some cash you will be able to get some mods or something nice for it.

that is really bad luck...yeah I know it should come out the hardest part will be the seals, but they are meant to have a UV coat on them which will help in the removal. Yeah it should look better than brand new.

Yeah mods sound good but I will probably wait till the car has 10k on the clock then head straight to Nizpro

Getting mine tuned has been the only thing on my mind all week.

So tempting, even more since Dave told me the only way Ford can tell if you've flashed it is if, say they've flashed it 5 times on their records, your car will tell them the flash count is 5, then every time Nizpro flash it the car goes back to 3. So if for some reason a really really cluey mech at Ford for some unknown reason decided to read the flashes and it said less than what he has on his records, then there's no other explination other than if it's been unofficially flashed.

SO tempting... :stupid:

Edit: I mean, who the f*ck is going to check the flash count? If I get it serviced by my trusted mechanic and not Ford, if I did have an insurance or warranty claim, there's no reason why I'd have to take it back to Ford other than to have that specific item looked at.

It's a risk, but you only live once...

Hey R Spec, nice vids of your beast by the way.

If something breks bigtime, which is highly unlikely, Ford will send a man with a gadget to check if it's been flashed AND THEY CAN TELL even if you put it all ack to stock. But unless you get some inexperienced tool to do the car you shouldn't have any problems anyway. Now you've done enough ks to show up any inherent faults. Remember once you make more grunt your rear diff support bushes are gonna flog out really quickly, so you need to change them, this requires a complete diff cradle drop, and the diff hat and the bolt or your going to get real bad backlash.

im a painter by trade and have had this happen to myself (me and my own car, as well as 2 other cars)...

dont worry... its piss easy to get it off.... the spray particles on acrylic paint is so fine that they basically dry in the air before it actually hits anything... when it lands on any surface it basically tacks on.... warm water will clean it off without too much effort.

yes he will have to pay for a clean but at the end of the day your car will be fine!!

I believe I've seen you a fair few times when you JUST got your car. sometimes at night as well.

NVDF6 is that your plate?

you've always been too fast for me to read out what the plates say (O_o)

thanks man makes me feel better, I might try giving it a wash with hot water today. I'll post some pics of my car after it's detailed. Thanks for the reassurance though.
