As above. The paint wasn't able to be removed with a citrus wash followed by a fairly aggressive clay bar + a heavy cutting pad and polish. Car is black metallic and as such shows the remnants of everything.

The paint has been sprayed over several surfaces including panels, plastics and lights. It's definitely more than the usual light overspray you would normally get.

It did remove a small portion of the paint but there is still a large amount remaining. It has bonded to the surface incredibly well, I wasnt able to remove with it soaked + fingernail on the plastics and I fear trying to do so would damage the clear on the panels.

I have heard of people using some fairly harsh solvents to remove but may cause more damage than its worth.

I'll speak to a few shops tomorrow and see if there are any other products that will work.
