Getting spray paint off a car.
Anyone know the best way spray paint off a car without using something that would effect the clear coat?

Depends on what kind of paint it is, but some examples of what will work are detailers clay, lacquer thinner or Acetone. Anything you do will strip the vehicle of any wax or polish that may have been on the finish so it will need to be polished and or waxed wherever you remove the paint. If you do not know what you are doing have a professional detailer do it because you can damage the paint with any of the suggestions I made, especially lacquer thinner and acetone if done incorrectly.
Have the Acetone and was trying to avoid having my detail guy use it. What do you think about mineral spirits?
Thanks for your help
Acetone is a NO NO unless you know what your doing for sure. Laquer thinner is a saffer bet, carefully try a spot where it wont matter.
Best thing to do is go to a body shop suppply and see what they got.
the best and safest way is the use of Body Clay. Do not use laquer thinner; gasoline, acetone, etc. You could damage the paint with these products.
Clay is the only way.,

Zep makes a "Graffiti Remover" that is amazing for paint transfer removal.
