yeah.. well i bought a car with a maaco paintjob so there is some overspray on the trim around the windows and stuff... what would be the best way to get rid of it without damaging the trim?
thanks

 

either carefully wipe with a bit of thinner and not wiping on the paint or mask off the trim/window mouldings and paint them a flat black/trim black with a spary can and spray light coats.

 

Clay bar everything except rubber moldings.. Reducer/laquer thinner or Acetone works well on removing overspray, just be carefull when using.

 

Wet sand the paint off with 2000 grit for the glass... Not sure about the trim though..

 

razor blade for glass...and claybar for the rest.. dont use thinner on painted peices..it'll strip or dull the paint

 

Acetone, not mineral spirits as far as paint thinner goes, it works wonders on the glass, Walmart brand carb clean works great as well. Molding can sometimes become damaged from the acetone and cleaners so be careful.

Wet sand the glass? Easiest way is to use steel wool or a razor blade. Steel wool will get everything off the glass.

 

Soap/water mix with steel wool

 

Jesus, you just can use carb clean on a rag for the windows, it takes about 5 seconds and doesn't involve possibly scratching the surrounding moldings.

Steel wool isn't that abrasive, you can scratch moldings and such, but you'd really have to be pushing hard.

 

i totally forgot i made this thread, no one really explained how to get it off the trim.. any tips would be appreciated

 

razor blade/ steel wool for the windows, the wool works great. and thinner on paint, it wont expletive it up, just apply the thinner to a cloth and do not let it sit, have done it too many times, works great

I am looking for the same thing. I don't want to repaint the trim!

 

I wet sanded my trim with a very high grade sandpaper, think it was 3000 grit, and then used tyre shine on it - worked a treat!

Be careful not to make any deep scratches in the trim though
