I just got back from an overseas job assignment all excited that my garage was finally completed. I spend the first day and a halve chasing momma around and whipping the yard back into shape with the son. Yesterday afternoon I pull the street glide out for a short ride and decide I will take it to the car wash to wash off the heavy dust... hmmm doesn't all wash off...
Evidently the son who was working with the guys doing the garage did not close the garage doors as he sprayed the eaves of the house and there is a fair amount of over-spray on mostly the rear of the bike, saddlebags, tailrack, seat etc. Tank very little and front of fairing pretty much nonexistent.

Paint is a latex based house paint.
What is the best safest way to get it off?

No child abuse was inflicted on the son..... but it was touch and go for a little while.... Thankfully it didn't carry in further as next bike in was a Harley Fatbob then a Ducati Monster.. they appear OK.

 

Wash it thoroughly ... then try a bit of "polish" on the spots first and it will probably do the trick. Then polish the rest of the scooter and follow with a good wax ( the polish doesn't offer any real paint protection). If the polish doesn't do the trick use something like a "Scratch and Swirl" remover then polish, then wax. Have your son help and make it a "bonding" experience. Be thankful it's not B L A C K too.

 

Thanks Larry. It definitely sticks out more on the black luggage rack which is what caught my eye at the car wash.

And there will be some bonding going on between Jr. and I on this.

 

wash it really well and wax it, if the wax does nto remove it go to a polishing compound or claybar... uncle Larry is on it for htis one

 

Clay bar for sure, you can't get the more aggressive clay bars at autozone, you need to get them at a detail website, they make more aggressive ones. After claybar hit it with a good polish to buff out any micro-marring from the clay and wax.
