I flattened out my entire car after painting and used maguires 105. Areas that got splattered due to bad masking or too much compound getting thrown around are really hard to clean.
I didnt clean up at the time so its well dried.
Some spots are near impossible to clean like its embedded in the paint. Is there a solvent or product available to help remove this?
Many thanks

ive had good luck with dawn dishsoap and water with a microfiber towel to wipe to remove dried up 105.

I like 3M "Clean and shine" for cleaning up excess buffing residue.
Best I have found, I will try the Valspar 170 Aqua clean product if I can find it cheaper than 3M's.

If you're getting splatter you're doing it wrong.

Compound on the pad, not the panel, spread around the work area and start the buff slow. Don't tilt the pad and clean up as you go.

Warm water and dishwashing detergent, as above.

It was my first time ever buffing paint and i did the entire car. Stuff going everywhere.! I was using a spray bottle with some water to keep the pad moist, messy... Ill know again. I ended up using methyl hydrate to remove the dried excess.
Worked really well.

Wax & Grease remover worked better than the rest for me.
