I will probably have to go through insurance as it is that bad! But if one were to try clean it themselves what cleaning products and accessories should i use on a white 2017 i30?
paint :link: Taubmans 4L Low Sheen White Sunproof Exterior Paint | Bunnings Warehouse dunno if that helps.

and when i mean its bad, its pretty bad. will post pictures if requested.

Who put the over spray there?
Call insurance company asap.

Welcome, Sorry to hear that!

Pictures would help please...

If it had a good wax on it before this happened maybe  a good wash with very hot water then a clay bar, followed by  a light cut?  :undecided:

I removed painted signwriting off a car once with oven cleaner, needs two people as one wipes it on the other hoses off almost instantly, paint underneath wasn't affected though it's still a risky procedure.

If insurance will cover repairs then best not to touch it.

@ticky

Ask a reputable panel repair shop for advice and also a household paint shop..

Don't forget to let us know the end result (please)  :cool:
