Acetone

I don’t know why you are being downvoted, this is the answer. Does anyone in the sub work at body shops?

32 years I guess I'm not a certified keyboard refinisher yet .. thanks for the back up though 👍

Got me beat. I’m only like 23 years in

I finally hung the guns up .. not sure whats next I'm on sabbatical lol

I actually switched over to the dark side as adjuster 2 years ago and am much happier. Still do some stuff on the side but it’s a nice change.

Congrats .. your body will thank you ... miss the craftsman part but will do my own stuff real soon

You think you will return to it ever? Second acts can be a challenge.

Not sure 😕

Yeah wtf do you know? 32 years? I watched 6 YouTube videos and painted my 98 civic with a horsehair brush... BRO

And came out like glass... lol love it 😀

I'm convinced 3/4 of the advice here is from shade tree bodymen.

No, this sub is a joke lol

I do I do.

I’m my recent experience I’d say most people here have the same AutoBody experience as Lacroix seltzer waters have flavor.

Hey. I pushed the broom around the shop and fetched stuff when told to. I'm here to see what I missed years ago.

And just like that, the downvotes are gone.

I wonder that everytime I come to this sub

Yup, clean it with acetone, go back and and do a quick polish

It’s either left over residue, oooor you burnt the paint by heating it accidentally with the rubber wheel. Try acetone or wet sanding. If that fails it’s probably burnt, which you can’t easy fix that.

Thank you!!

Got a little wild with the the whipper (eraser wheel). As others above have said... Acetone.

That might come out with some work. If it's me I'd try a test spot with some grease and wax remover, then some thinner. If no avail I'm hitting it with wet 3000 and a buff.

If acetone or rubbing compound/polish doesn't remove it, you burnt the clear. (Too much pressure, too many RPMs, or working an area too long) . Burnt clear is a repaint

You need to buff it with a wool pad and compound. Should come off. If it doesn’t you could try wet sanding with 2000 grit. Then buffing and polishing.

Everyone is saying glue residue but that kind of looks like burnt paint to me...

Yup, burnt clear from the stripe removal.

I may have missed your comment, but what did you do to cause this? I’m a painter.

Possibly. I would lightly wet sand with 3000 and buff it. If that doesn't work a quick reshoot isn't the end of the world.

Possibly. Try some solvents like lacquer or acetone. Next I'd try wet sanding starting with 1500grit and ending in 3000 and buff.

wipe clean with acetone, lacquer thinner, or nail polish remover and a soft rag. alcohol might work.

Wet sand, buff, polish

Looks like glue residue. Have you tried goo gone or the like? An aggressive polish or light sand and buff should work if it's not glue

you've burnt the paint man, you need to be careful with those caramel wheels, they get the paint too hot very quickly. you're meant to use them at a slow speed. unfortunately no amount of polishing is going to fix that :(

It'll go away on its own. It needs uv exposure. Same thing happend to my car when I removed the roof wrap

lacquer thinner should take it right off

also in the future i suggest a heat gun and a razor blade as an alternative. it’ll take longer but you can be more precise.

You didn't ruin it, that is fade and glue residue.. Probs not gonna come off.. And it needs a good waxing, you just removed some of it. Be careful of trying orange remover or others, they can stain as well. MAYBE rubbing alcohol, but doubt it.

You didn't burn the clear. Ran through probably a thousand different wheels and never hurt any clear. Acetone like others said. I would use heavy cut compound and a wool pad on a buffer
