89boxchevy Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) i would try rubbing compound because if u aint careful with the laquer thinner or its a real weak thinner it may dull the paint But if you ain't careful with compound you'll burn right through the clearcoat. First off, try claying the car. See if that takes it off. If not, I would start with the finest compound you can get. If it doesn't take it off, try going a little more coarse. BE CAREFUL! If you push too hard, use the wrong kind of rag, or work it in too much, it WILL burn through your clearcoat and you'll be effed. I recommend washing the car right before, then running the hose over the area you are working. I've found it works best if you make a 'slurry' of water and the compound. Also, if you're gonna do it by hand, more power to ya; I would get a buffer. I've never used a cheap one, but if you can, get a good one like a Porter Cable. You have to be a true moron to mess up paint with a PC. Oh, you could also try a wax and grease remover. See if that takes it off. burning thru clear with rubbing compound by hand i highly doubt it with a wheel yes be careful i used to detail cars for a living for a few yrs i never scene it happen by hand.

Nine8SST Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Meguiars makes a "paint cleaner" that is a step above polish and a step below rubbing compound, if you can find it it's good stuff.
