Catching a fresh road paint with your car can be very unpleasant, especially if you are unlucky enough to have it on your wheel wells. In my opinion, the biggest problem with this type of overspray lies in the fact that wheel wells usually have a flat finish. Moreover, they can be characterized as thin pieces with a rather sophisticated structure that requires gentle treatment. This is why the removal method must not include scrubbing. Most experts believe that applying a generous coating of petroleum jelly to the affected area of wheel wells and leave them covered with vaseline for several days. Then try to get rid of annoying road paint using a pressure wash. If some paint spots still reside on your precious wheel wells, you should show more persistence. For example, try lacquer thinner or rubbing alcohol applying it to the spotted area. Make sure that you are just rubbing but not scrubbing, as you should be focused on softening the unwanted paint to remove it from your wheel wells effectively. Ideally, you should opt for a sponge or a soft wet rag in order to avoid scratches.
