How do i remove paintball paint off my cars windows and body without damaging anything?

Question

My parents cars were shot with what i guess are oil based paintballs and they have gummed up and left the cars ugly. We tried soap, tar and bug remover, but nothing seems to work fine. windex sorta for the windows, but it takes a ton of it and a ton of effort also. The cars are a honda accord and a toyota rav4 if it matters.

Answer 1

Kerosene in hot water will work. look it up on the net. it wont damage your cars paint or anything! i didnt believe it at first!

Answer 2

I hope you made a police report and follow though, then go to civil Court and sue the boys parents for enough money to paint the cars and your house.I think the guy would have to have a accident. You could use a paint thinner if the paint was not dry, ask the salesman at your parts store, you may have to get a rubbing compound and rub out the whole car. You may be able to use a different paint remover, than the original type of paint that came on the car. but check with the paint salesman. What ever you do,do a little test spot, before trying the whole car.

Answer 3

As I know it, paintballs are made with harmless ingredients. Try using hot (not boiling) water on it, as what you may have is either a wax or gelatin on the surface which may not come off with soaps. The hot water will loosen the material.

Remember to re-wax the car when you are done, as the chemicals you have used have stripped the wax off of the car.

Answer 4

Paintball "paint" contains the same wax that cayons are made of. Whatever will remove crayon should remove the paint from the car.
