    OVERSPRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please help

    Guys,

    Had some gelcoat work done on bottom of boat, ran over metal in a lake. Good news is, gelcoat looks great, BAD news is that guy fixing it must have spraypainted something white close to my boat. Wax took off the overspray on the boat, but cant get off Mercury Cal and the windsheilds of boat. Any thing safe to use to get this overspray off?

    Thanks,

    BPS196

    I would use the polish they sell for restoring headlight lenses. It's almost like an ultra fine compound. I use it to get tough water spots off my merc cowling, and it hasn't harmed the paint one bit. I would do it by hand though, no machines.
