Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi everyone - I've just found some idiot has sprayed graffiti on my Cayman - first and hopefully last time, but does anyone have any tips to get this off? It's only on one panel and is about 15cm long.
Thanks!

Stick this on the General forum if you want a better response.
We had this once. Turned out to be grease. Have you tried wiping it?
Thanks - I think this does appear in the general Porsche area too? I have managed to remove the blue paint mark with hot soapy water, but the area underneath the graffiti is dull and discoloured. I guess I need to take this to a professional now? Any recommendations for one in north London?

Try Autosmart Tardis this will remove it no problem at all.
Thanks, might try this out. I have done a soap and water wash and the pain itself has come off, but a pink stain is now left where the paint used to be.
Any ideas how to sort this out, or what this is a result of?

2000 wet sand it off then polish the dullness out

I would advise against doing this unless you have experience of using wet n dry as it can cut into the paint too deeply if you rub too hard. I would try some T-Cut and if that doesn't work, seek some professional advice.

Thanks - that was my thought too. I'll try polishing it as that seems a tactic with no downside and see if that makes a difference.
likely that the paint will be from an aerosol which will be cellulose based so I would get some paint thinners / gun wash on a cloth and simply wipe it off then a quick polish with some cutting compound after and job done .

I meant the general General forum. Bigger audience...
Thanks everyone for the tips - some soapy hot water yesterday and some turtlewax polish today got rid of it. Now I'll get the car waxed to give it some extra protection. Am glad it wasn't more serious...!
