Can someone suggest a paint remover that won’t ruin the finish on my 1999 Miata? I drove thru a puddle of white house paint, and it splashed up on the sides by the wheel wells…

EZ Off Oven Cleaner will not damage the clear-coat finishes used on MOST cars but it will quickly remove the house paint…Test the oven cleaner on a small hidden area first to make sure it will not damage the cars finish…After removing the paint, wash off all residue with soap and water.

Did it work? I drove my van into the garage and scraped wall paint on my door…
