Default Ahhh!!

I was coming home when I see a Sherman Williams truck drop a 5gal bucket of paint. I moved over a lane and of course the car that's ahead hits the bucket and paint goes everywhere. All I could do was swerve and that **** went everywhere. To add insult to injury in the process of swerving at 65mph my car got sideways and I heard a loud crack sound...when I got the hwy I noticed that my dashboard cracked down the center where sit to drive! Then I get home brother comes over and says that he can get the paint off the car. We washed it and most did come off,bit the little specks stayed. He gets a can of Goo-Off and says that this will work. I tell him to wait before I know it stripped some of the clear of the paint! Is there ayway of doing this without ******* anything else up?

Lol at the Ace joke, I can see it now. Any idea what type of paint it is? Latex should have washed off with soapy water if ya got to it quick enough. My bet is it's latex. Also, your clear must be effed. I use goo gone all the time to take the tire/vht compound off my car after the track.

goof off and goo-gone are two different products.

This is from goof offs web page FAQ's

Can I use Goof Off Professional on my car without harming the topcoat?
Goof Off Professional can damage some automobile finishes. Use Goof Off Heavy Duty instead.
