Ok I checked the AG store and they don't sell an equivalent to this product, so I feel comfortable talking about it.
I worked on a silver car this past weekend that had really bad yellow road paint overspray on the driver's side. It was in the front and rear wheel wells. It was all over the rocker panels (big blobs of paint) and the bottom half of the doors below the trim that was midway up the door. There was a light amount on both of the upper doors. The owner said that the paint had been there at least 1.5 years and probably more like 2 years.
I tried the normal route with clay bar and plastic razor/scrapers and was not getting anywhere. It took me about 2-3 hours just to get the upper doors clean which had the lightest amount of overspray. Hitting it with compound was not touching it either.
So I went to my local auto part stores. I found several products for vandal graffiti removal but none of them said they were okay to be used on automotive paint finishes it was just implied.
At AZ I found this product: GOOF OFF PRO STRENGTH REMOVER
It is an ultra strong citrus based cleaner according to the description on the can and is made specifically for automotive paint finishes.
I sprayed it on a MF towel and then wiped the overspray and WOW! WOW! WOW!
The overspray comes off in about 1-3 wipes. Effortless. Like it was fresh paint.
I removed the overspray from the entire side of the car in about 20-30 min. I quick clay barring afterwards and there was no signs of yellow paint.
Just wanted to share with everyone.
I will always keep a can of this on hand from now on. If the over spray is more than a fine mist I am not even going to bother with clay bar anymore.
