I Hate %^&$# Stripes!
Road stripes that is.As hard as i work to keep my car clean this happens.Late at night right in town.I didn't see what they were doing til i got up on them.I merged all way into a turning lane to avoid over spray but i probably had already run over it before i got to them as they were rolling.No signs anywhere..
Next day i wake up to this.Body shop said just use gasoline and to make sure to get on it quickly as possible because the longer it is on the car the harder it is to get off.So i spent a few hours blotting trying to soften it up hoping it wouldn't scratch as it came off.
Talk about just being sick and disgusted.Hard to see in the pics but it was all over the passenger side halfway up the door and tires.Going to go over it with a clay bar and give it a total wax tomorrow.

PEOPLE SUCK!!! i work in commercial construction and i see it all day long.. lazy dirtballs, half a$$ing their work... Craftsmanship is a thing of the past... now i know why my dad was so hard on me... he didn't want me to be one of the "ZOMBIES" out there...

this happened with my old truck that i had, except it was all over the side and sucked cleaning it off, don't remember the stuff i used, but i had super swampers on it and that flung it up bad. Sorry to see that happen to your car.
