So some loser decided it would be funny to use that window paint to draw on my windows. I've tried washing the stuff off several times, and eventually got most of it off of my windows. However, some of it has acumulated on the actual paint job on my cars body. Neone got ne tips for getting this crap off? I don't wanna screw up my paint, and like I said I've tried washing it off a few times, but the crud is darn near impossible to get off.
 
Typically that "window paint" is shoe polish, it should wash off with some soap and water.
 
Heavy duty buffing compound done by hand will get it off. Then come back with a polishing compound with about 5000 rpms and it will look better than it did before.
 
If it doesn't come off with soap and water use a clay bar (see auto store)
 
Some buffing compound will take it off. We did this to a buddies car in High school and wrote a whole bunch of dumb stuff on it and draw a bunch of dirty pictures on it (LOL) then it wouldnt come off and I ended up having to buff the whole car. It came off fine, just took some time.
 
Alot of polishing systems like Zaino have you start out with a fresh slate so to speak. Step one is to wash the car using Dawn dish detergent. It will strip all the grease, grime and wax from car. You can come back behind that with a clay bar but just make sure you wax or polish the car right away as there will be nothing protecting your finish after using the Dawn.
