Unwanted Paint Removal
I have been a bit of an idiot and left a paint can out in my garage. I managed to knock it over and drove through the paint. It splashed onto the paintwork of the car, and worse is all over the wheels.
The paint came up ok, maybe because it was waxed. How do I get it off the tires and out of the wheel well?
