Hi,
I have just had some paintwork done on my car and under the bonnet has suffered a little. Horizontal surfaces have got a covering of what looks like paint dust probably mixed with other muck. Is there an easy way to get this off (it is on everything really - distributor cap, plug leads etc, etc

Many thanks

Phil

If it's dusy it will wash off, if it doesn't it's overspray: naughty painter didn't mask up very well. Thinners of the right type or T Cut, cream cleaner etc.

Sounds like overspray - I'd use thinners and a rag...
