Need Help: used acetone on paint and..
hello guyz..
One day I noticed LOTs of resins dropped on my lovely evo..(tarmac black)
I tried to remove them by sctratching it with fingernails, wipe it with soap, and etc. But it didn't work...
So I went on the internet and did some research on how to remove resin, and finally found a method. USE ACETONE
So I used acetone to remove resins on my car... and this is what happened.
The clear coat was gone and the car looks *$#%$#%#$%#$.
....
What should I DO!!!!!!
Please help me.

There was a similar thread earlier on removing boogers from the paint. My suggestion (in the future) would be to try the Mother’s Clay Bar with one of the instant detailers. I used to clay my white Mustang GT and the stuff was amazing. Don’t think I’d ever try acetone on paint.

There are several clear coat polishes that may help, make sure you get the "clear coat" polish and not regular polish or you may make it worse. Clear coat polish has much less abrasives and might clean up a little of the damage without making it worse. Good luck.
