🚧 Road Paint Splatter? Here’s How We Saved This Vehicle From Construction Chaos

It’s that time of year again — road construction season. While it’s great to see infrastructure getting the attention it needs, it’s not so great when yellow road paint ends up on your vehicle.

We recently serviced a customer whose car got caught in the mess: yellow line paint splattered across the lower panel, trim, and deep into the wheel wells. This type of paint can bond quickly and cause permanent damage if not treated the right way.

But here’s the good news: We made it look like nothing ever happened.

🎯 The Problem: Road Paint Transfer

When paint from fresh road markings gets on your vehicle, it’s not just cosmetic — it can eat into clear coat, stain plastic trim, and be incredibly difficult to remove from textured surfaces like wheel wells and rubber seals.

🧽 Our Process

At TDS The Detail Shop, we handled this carefully:

Surface-safe solvents were used to loosen paint without harming the vehicle’s finish.

Gentle agitation and detailing brushes got deep into textured trim and wheel well plastics.

Final polish and protection restored the panel’s clarity and shine, preventing future staining.

We used a paint-safe method that avoids aggressive scraping or harmful chemicals that could do more harm than good.

💡 What to Do if It Happens to You

1. Don’t scrub it yourself – this often spreads the paint or damages the surface.

2. Avoid car washes – tunnel washes won’t fix it, and brushes might make it worse.

3. Call a professional (like us!) who knows how to treat it safely and effectively.
