Masonry paint

[Jimble]

I've been asked to tidy up my sister in laws little runaround, it's a 2003 micra but only has 11k on the clock! she got it off an elderly family friend so obviously has a couple of little marks here and there the worst of which being some masonry paint on the off side corner of the front bumper, she has a garage behind the house with a VERY narrow shared driveway and she has just caught the house when getting in and out.

My question is what do we think is going to be the best way to get it off? Am i best trying to clean it off or buff it off which may well cost me a pad?

Any advice would be great.

Hi Jimble, is it a painted bumper or non painted?
Assuming its painted!!
Try and get as much as you can off during the wash process, I would suggest getting it off by hand polishing with a medium to course compound like farecla g3 formula scratch paste or liquid or similar,
 don't need to go mad with pressure or anything like that but the abrasives will cut through it with ease, you will need to refine it after though to jewel the finish.

Bit of Jif should do it surely?

Yeah it's a painted bumper mate, it's actually taken a little bit of the paint off but i think once the cream masonry paint has gone it won't look tooo bad, i've just got some carpro eraser for after polishing, i wonder if that,d have much affect on it??

Bodyshop panel wipe got rid of masonary paint dots on one of mine. Eraser is less strong so might just work!

Cool! I'll give it a go.


Cheers chaps!!

Try eraser but as mr blue said it might not be strong enough which will result in more hits potentially and wasting product, go easy with the panel wipe its strong stuff and jap paint is soft/sticky

i would try and clay it just to remove as much of it as possible first then polish it.

Did that on my mums wing mirror and it came out great!
