He used his fingernail to get most of the bigger parts off then used goof-off for the rest. Took some time, but it did all come off with out any damage.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/07/10 14:37 By hammersly.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #294740 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:paint overspray 1 Year, 10 Months ago   The spirits won't hurt the chrome or paint, but I would not use it on the windshield.....or at least test a small spot first...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #294742 T_rum (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 277 Re:paint overspray 1 Year, 10 Months ago   mineral spirits or laquer thinner should be o.k. on the handle bars, and on the dash chrome if you just put a little bit on a rag and lightly rub the over spray. Don't use any solivent on your wind sheild though. Once the over spray comes off, wash to bike however you normally do it to get all the thinner off.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #294749 CoachDan (User) I'm Mechanically Inclined, I Screw Up Everything. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1040 Re:paint overspray 1 Year, 10 Months ago   On chrome or glass, I use 0000 steel wool. Do not use steel wool on plastic or paint though. On my shields, I use Meguiar's compounds to get scratches and embedded bug remains out, and then use their polishes, or 3M Finesse-it to get it all shiny again. My shields do not have a coating on them, not sure about yours, or how compounds would effect it if it does..   Logged     CoachDans Bikes   The administrator has disabled public write access. #294751 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:paint overspray 1 Year, 10 Months ago   Use Fastwax on the windshield and it may take a few applications but won't hurt the windshield. Use Acetone on the chrome parts just be careful around your paint. BTW Fastwax will take it off the paint as well.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #294755 rand1965 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 545 Re:paint overspray 1 Year, 10 Months ago   clear coat scrub by mcguire.. it will take light overspray off and wont hurt the plastic either.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #294779 Mudslide (User) Need uh amberlamps Expert Boarder Posts: 574 Re:paint overspray 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I used laquer thinner on my truck once and didn't hurt a thing. A guy at a body shop said to use a clay bar.   Logged     Franksandbeans   The administrator has disabled public write access. #294795 Midnight1700 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 239 Re:paint overspray 1 Year, 10 Months ago   If it's just been recently oversprayed use a "Clay Bar" on everything! I've been doing professional detailing for a while and that is the safest approach before you dig into any harsh chemicals. If that doesn't work, PM me and I will give you a step by step process that will safely remove overspray that's been on there a while.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
