2008 sebring convt. Extremely low miles.
Tried duragloss 501 for the first time today. Absolutely no cut whatsoever. Not too impressed. Good but not great.

Anyway, the car has what looks to be white road paint on the side. In the fender well and most importantly on the paint. Now I clean cars all day long. have been for 20 years. I have always used lacquer thinner on most road paint and it comes off pretty easily. If not , I go extra aggressive and get out the goof off, depending on the type of vehicle. I have never had goof off not work. Sometimes fast, sometimes slower but it always works. Until today. Nothing will even touch this stuff. Looks exactly like the type of white road paint that I've seen a thousand times but nothing will even touch it. Not even a little bit. Not clay. Not heat. Not goof off. Not plastic razor blades. Nothing. Any ideas on something that could work? Goof off can strip the finish off the space shuttle so if this stuff doesn't work, what will?

I can't help you with the space shuttle, but 501 had no cut for you....because it has no cut. Whatever you get is going to be from your pad.
 
Right. I knew that going in. Just trying to imagine a vehicle that has paint in such good condition that it needs no cutting at all but does need to be "cleaned". Then again the product is made for boats. No problem, I'll stick with M66. Best of all worlds.

First thing I thought of was concrete remover. I dont have any and no its not concrete. Looks exactly like white road paint. No grit to it. No color but solid bright white

I know that these products work on water-based road paints:
Get Off Clean; and XENIT (by Stoner's)...

However:
Sounds like this stubborn road paint is an epoxy paint.

If so:
This removal product should do the trick:
Tagster

It contains:
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)...a very effective paint stripper.

Valspar 173 slow reducer. Works wonders where thinners won't, like on urethanes.
 
This thread definitely doesn't lack entertainment value. And OP I would go with Bob's suggestion and follow the instructions.
