Got some road paint on my car

Alexus

I own a couple car washes but only one of them has a full detail shop and it's constantly booked. My mother's cousin can probably buff it out. I'll try the clay bar if it can stop being so hazy out here.

I already contacted the city and they said that it's a convoy of three trucks with big FRESH PAINT signs attached to them. This is true, but obviously they shouldn't be painting the lines on an entry ramp for the highway in rush hour. I'm pretty damn sure I'm not the only one who got paint all over his car that day, as the Porsche infront of me spun out on the lines it was so fresh. I decided that getting it fixed myself would far outweigh attorney fees and the 50/50 possibility of losing the case, not to mention the major headache of having to deal with the city further.

As a PW employee who works far more than the "normal" 40 hours a week to keep things running well I can only say you are ignorant and attempt to place labels due to your own biases.

Sorry, but the same isn't exactly true up here. The public workers are lazy and do a very bad job; more often than not, in a 5-man team only one of them will be working whilst the others stand around smoking cigarettes and whistling at passing women. Our roads are amongst the worst in the world, a lot of parks I drive by every day are overgrown with vegetation and there is a lot of litter. They are almost always on strike, demanding better pay, better advantages, better working conditions; but they don't deserve it*. I drove back to work today and where the paint had splattered on my car, there were countless tire tracks... I don't know what they were thinking painting those lines in the middle of rush hour.

In any case, the clay bar helped but not a whole lot. Believe it or not, the cleaning wax provided with the Mothers' kit did a better job that the clay bar itself. I think that the next step is having it professionally wetsanded, but my mother's cousin is booked to hell.
