Default Got some road paint on inside of fenders..

Well unfortunately it is everywhere, including on the paint on the side/underbody as well as in the plastic in the wheel wells. I did a little search and it looks like paint thinner will remove it. What tool should i use to apply this, and is there anything else i should know? I figured i would ask before i go screw something else up even more.

Go to your local auto parts store and look in the paint section its called rubberized undercoating. Its in a spray can.

mineral spirits might work but I dont know if it will hurt the clear or not. dab a little on a sock or washcloth and rub it lightly until it starts to come off. try it in a spot that wont be very noticeable at first. you might even be able to use some sort of rubbing compound.

lacquer thinner will take it off...put it on a microfiber towel or something similar with slight pressure; too much pressure will pull some of the clear off and then have a slight haze which will then need to be buffed...if its pretty fresh it will come off with ease

not LACQUER thinner! It will melt the paint right quick. You mean paint thinner or varsol.
