Hi everyone,
Who has ever deleted graffiti from the car surface? Somebody painted it on the bumper. Maybe you know and can advise any good car care liquid to remove that sign? I would be grateful for any ideas.
PS: nail polish did not help.

You need a solvent that is compatible with the type of paint used, but which won't hurt the car's paint.
Assuming you're trying to remove conventional spray paint, I've had good luck using automotive enamel paint "reducer" (thinner).
Always test first in an inconspicuous location in case it is going to damage the original finish.
I took the nail polish but it seems it doesn’t work at all. My neighbor advised the degreaser and WD. Is this type of degreaser is very aggressive? Who knows? https://www.mrosupply.com/paint-pain...280401_krylon/ I started searching other ways to remove the paint from the car and there is a plenty of them starting from oven cleaner and to expensive professional removers.
I always just use lacquer thinner, you have to be quick and not scrub. but wipe away the graffiti, and use lots of new rags.. it will typically dull the finish, and you can polish it back to a shine. The aveo is tricky though, as I don't think they all have clear coat on them so do a test spot, on the panel your wiping clean. Once you get the graffiti thin enough wiping it off, you could polish the remaining off with a buffer.
If it hasn't baked on for too long, a good rubbing compound or cutting polish may take it off.
I've never had luck with rubbing compound. Maybe too coarse, but I always seem to end up with a dull spot in the original finish.
Probably killed the clear coat - it may work best with old single stage paints. I always had good results but it was a number of years ago.Quote:

I've used both gasoline, and kerosene on a rag, after driving on freshly painted yellow road dividing paint in my S-10 pickup. Just follow up with a good wash with car soap and a good high quality car wax.
