Sometimes the nerve of people drives me nuts. A little while ago someone drove down my street and paintballed cars down the block. Mine got hit in the back, half on the window half on the hardtop.

The removal of the paintball on the window was simple with the use of a scott brite pad and some windex.

However when I took off the main layor of the paint from the top's plastic there is a dim blemish where the paint used to be and the splatter is still visible. I cannot get it off no matter what I do and it looks terrible! I dont mind scratches and rusty axles, but this is driving me crazy!

Does anyone know a good plastic safe method of removing this from my top?

It's supposed to be water soluble. Try a good soap and a brush?

Probably did that already but anyway.

Yeah, thats what I thought. I had no idea it was going to be this difficult to get off.

paintballs are mainly mineral oil and gelatin so if you can find something good for the mineral oil that should do the trick.

did you try simple green or goo goon

I have not tried either of those. I know goo gone is safe for clear coats some im assuming it would be safe for plastic aswell. Ive also heard that simple green is good stuff. Which one would you recommend?

Try simple green I use that on everything except the paint on my ride.

I used to play and made the mistake of parking close to the netting of one of the speed ball fields. By the end of the day my hood was covered in splatter. I was able to just hose it down and give it a sponge bath with some simple green car soap.

simple green it is, I will try to use some tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks for all the advice guys.
