How do I remove "Silly String" off my van without damaging paint and clear coat? Already tried soap and water, did not help. It's been 48 hours or more since it was sprayed.

Replying to: ckcarprice (Jul 20, 2008 6:02 pm) Meguiar’s Professional Clay Bar (approximately $24.99), which is ideal for handling contaminated paint surfaces. Begin the process with a product such as Pinnacle Clay Lubricant, which will allow the Clay Bar to spread a lot easier. Yep, it's about $35 in materials and a few hours work perhaps, but it's cheaper than a new paint job. |

If you DO though, the shop is right--it's a long arduous task. Don't underestimate the hours, days, even weeks of work involved to strip a car to bare metal. Or the god-awful mess of it. Or the toxicity of the process.

Getting into the car yesterday my wife stepped in gum and dragged a long string of it over the rocker panel and door sill. I of course tried to wipe it off with a tissue and smeared it all over the rocker panel.  Any suggestions on how to get it off without scratching the paint?

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 21, 2008 3:29 am) That's what my wife suggested but I wasn't talking to her after she defiled my baby. Anyway, it was in the 50s this morning and I noticed I could just peel it off with my fingernail. Another cool morning any It'll be back to perfect. I may trade in my wife though
