Removing touch up paint/clear coat
 

Is there anything that will remove previously put on touch up paint and its clear coat ?? Last year i touched up my paint chips with the mazda pen that has the paint on one end and the clear coat on the other. Big mistake !!!1 I put the clear coat and you can see the touch up clear coat. Im trying to remove any previous touch up work so i can re touch up everything and use langka. Ive tried paint thinner... nothing. So is there anything that will for sure remove previous put on touch up paint and its clear coat :wallbash:

bump. Im thinking sandpaper a very fine grit maybe 2000 will remove the touched up clear coat :dunno:

Use a 2000 grit paper first, do a couple strokes with a block sander and some water. then go over that again with 3000 grit. make sure to wet the sand paper as well. me and my friend just started up a mini detailing company on the side. heres the result after doing this to my 8. (I also used my 3 step 6 speed buffer afterwards)

top is buffed, bottom is not

Thanks !!! Thats what i was thinking of doing but with soapy water lol.

I dont see why that wouldnt work! Just be careful. Dont over do the strokes though, or else youll cut through the clear coat. :banghead:

And make sure you compound, polish, and wax afterwards.

^ Yup of course. See right now im trying to get my car in perfect condition before i polish and wax. So that means any touch up and any dent removal before i do the full out spring detail :) Thanks brother.

That's how I was too. :) no problem. Happy spring cleaning
