Car Plasterd In Sun Cream Hand Prints

[corolio]

right as you've read in the title

the two family cars are plasterd in sun cream hand prints

(from the wee ones) and it looks as if its faded the paint

(hopefully not)

i was just woundering if any one with experience has any tips on how to get it off

i think the pressure hose has already been used with no great affect

thanks in advance corolio

the paint shouldnt be faded as the laquer protects the paint.

Have you tried some T-Cut and some elbow grease?

no because the paint is mettalic

when i rub it a bit with my finger it goes away but only for around a second or so

a bit like that plastic trim polish if you get my drift

Metallic t-cut! Will cut through anything!

i googled it and i read that petrol might take it out as the suncream is oil based

any advice on that

[levin20v]

well i dunno if it wil work but i know it shouldnt damage the paint so you should give it a try, i read some1 using it to get rid of sap/road tar.

did u just pressure hose, or hand wash with a decent shampoo too?

Petrol will/should shift it but u will need to re wash the car and polish/wax afterwards. A clay bar should also work or a decent tar remover. Again, polish/wax the car afterwards to protect and get rid of any residue

not keen on tcut id give it a claybar and then some megs 123 paint clear/polish and wax or some other good make of poroducts :D

You know I thought Loreal were full of it when they said their suncream was water resistant but seems they've lived up to the marketing pitch! I'd try some of the suggestions such as this stuff about clay bars. Let us know how it goes.
