Help! I have sprayed fence paint on the cars
Discussion
I could have sworn there was a detailing ‘ car exterior care sub on PH... anyway....
I’ve bee. A right pillock.
Painted the fence with one of these pressure sprayer things and some ronseal fence paint. Medium oak as it happens.
Wind was zero, or so I thought but evidently I have speckled both cars with said paint. I’m not as bothered about my car as it’s old and I can take some more risks with the paint but the wife’s mini, which of course is white needs more love as it’s leased.
I bought some auto glym “Intense tar and glue” stuff and I’ve just finished the bonnet. It’s came off but needed a good bit of elbow grease and even after a good rinse the paint looks dull so probably needs a good polish.
Any tips? The paint says it’s water based but it’s stubborn. Short of paying a shop to fix it what can I try? I’ve ordered a foam Lance and some more chemicals but I’m clutching at straws now.
For even more goggles the front of the house is also covered on the windows and PVC.
I await the onslaught....

Probably not what you want to hear but it should come off eventually with just a few maintenance washes.
That timber fence paint tends to be water based so it shouldn't be too hard to remove.
We had the whole family fleet (6 cars) accidently coated by a neighbour respraying the roof of his shed using oil based agricultural oxide.
Genuine accident - it was a windy day and he didn't think it through.
We thought the cars were destroyed- it looked like someone had stood over them flicking a paint brush at them.
We didn't realise until the paint had dried in.
A power wash and a regular maintenance wash took the vast majority of it off - 2-3 washes later you'd never even notice it had happened.
