Some weeks ago I ran over a tin of white gloss paint some numpty lost from their vehicle, I could not stop where I was and by the time I did it had dried out. I have pressure washed the bumper and tyres and some of the larger patches of the paint have come off. I am now left with lots of white dots on rear bumper, door sill and tyre. Luckily the car is white and although there must be some flecks on the body I can not see any.

So does anyone have any idea what I can use to remove the flecks that are left, too abrasive and I will need to have the bumper resprayed. Any ideas please?

Have you tried Magic Erasers?

Try it, gently, on a bit that won’t show first

Veg or and white spirit will soften the gloss without damaging the original paint looking at this.

What about tar remover? Halfords own is decent, but make sure you wash and re-polish afterwards.

A large professional car paint shop could be worth a visit, not for a touch up, but to ask how to get it off with as little damage as possible. There are different paint systems in use, so a chemical that may be delicate on one brand of car may be less delicate on another brand.

Magic erasers are effective, but also very abrasive, similar to a 3M ultrafine abrasive pad, the gloss will be dulled. The gloss coat should be preserved as much as possible

Often had success with the wife's nail varnish remover. Try it on a tiny patch first.

Thanks to everyone who posted a reply. I think I will try the white spirit first. As it is on the bumpers only I dont want to try acetone (nail polish remover) or the magic eraser ...yet.

Again thanks for all your suggestions.

Good luck although it appears you have given the "Gloss" a further 9 days to harden/cure.....
