Car detailers (who tend to be anal about such things) use it wo wipe down cars before applying new wax.

Well now, what you say is true ........ HOWEVER, maybe the paint that the previous owner of the OP's car used to paint over the fender garnish (what the heck ever that is) was NOT automotive paint ......

OK, @stidhamrichard ...... you started this ........ now, what do you consider "fender garnish" and was the paint used plasti-dip ....... ??

hmmmm...... I wonder if "paint remover" would take off that aftermarket paint and not harm the clear coat ....... what you say there, @Tcoat .....

What about goof-off or goo-gone ......??
