Hello, I did search for past threads that might help but none were specific to my problem.
My CJ was parked in the garage, not driven, for about 4 years. During that time my fiance spray painted stuff in the garage, usually with the doors shut (wtf??), and having never tarped my jeep. Any paint that was hanging in the air settled on the jeep. I didn't realize what was happening until I rolled her out of the garage to work on her. I'm beyond pissed.
Anyway, I've since found a product that successfully takes the overspray off the body, with tons of elbow grease. I have yet to find a good solution for the soft top windows. I got Maguires Cleaner, Polish, and the M18 Mirror Glaze detailer.
Yesterday after a wash with soap and water I tried the cleaner and polish with the foam pad and soft cloth that came with, wax on/wax off technique. I can barely type today. The side windows look better. It barely made a difference on the back window, which took the brunt of the overspray.
Should I just keep trying with the cleaner and polish? Is there anything else I can try to take the paint overspray off?
