    Yeah he means moi.

    Aggressive clay removes overspray. That will sort it, but you'll marr the paintwork due to the coarseness of the clay, so you'll then need to polish the area afterwards.

    That'll be £5 please. Can pay by paypal!





    I joke.. I joke. I don't charge for advice!

    Guessing it's either overspray or road paint?
    Thinners will take it off, but you MUST rinse and treat the area after.

    Otherwise there are some awesome clays out there, but debo will know more about they.

    It'll only be light marring from the clay, so a finishing polish of some description. Just go to Halfords and get some Autoglym Super Resin Polish, that would suffice.
