Long shot.. but anyone in Brisbane willing to help me do my front bar/fog lights and maybe wheels? I don't have a spot where I can do this at home (Live in an apartment..) Obviously I'd supply the stuff.. I can pay in Beer or cash.

Anyone have any tips for removing thin dip without stripping the paint or the clear?

Have a bit of overspray that won't wipe off and it's killing me... Dip dissolver is $88 but I'd like to try something a little cheaper if anyone has any hints or tips?

Cheers!

Thinners then quickly wipe it off with a wet rag.

Thanks OZY and Bizkets - tbh bug and tar might be a little more up my alley...

Will try thinners if it fails. Thanks!

So started to remove some of dip from my car as changing look.

As I started removing the areas where the dip was thick was a dream to remove.

I started to remove it from my rear diffuser, nightmare.

As you can see in pic the rear diffuser on the G6E at the top has all the little individual square detailing.

I remembered someone posted that WD40 is great a removing over spay as advised to NVT above.

I have had success using it on over spay.

So in an attempt to make life easier I spayed rear Diffuser with Silicon Spay (WD40) and let it soak.

The WD40 seems to soften up the dip.

I then hit with the high press wash down gun blasting it off nice and clean.

It was looking like a real pain in the ass job but ended up being easy as with this method.
