Hi Guys. How can I safely remove a smear of latex paint that in on my black panel. Got to close to a post and "transferred" a bit from a post to my right front skin. Any help??
As always, thanks in advance for you help!!

I would try a "cleaner/wax" before paint thinner. Mequiars Ultimate Compound (not an abrasive compound) works great - I use it to remove swirl marks in black paint with an DA polisher.SamiGuy wrote:Hi Guys.

Others make a cleaner/wax as well. Always start with the least abraisive/least damaging product and if that doesn't work, you can always get more aggressive.
