Thankfully clay bar does work! (Pictures)
 
So I havn't washed my ranger within like 8 months. It was looking nasty so I thought I would give it a good wash job. After washing it twice and it getting dark on my I got it looking half way decent. On my way to work this morning driving down I20 the state was painting the strips on the road. I tried to stay away as much as possible but after I got to work and was on my way to lunch a friend ask what was all over the side of my truck. Well I ignored him and went on. When we got to lunch I noticed my truck had white paint on the side of it. I stopped by ABC auto parts on the way home and grabbed a clay bar kit. Here are the pictures.

damn that sucks, good thing it came off...


a clay bar seems to be the one little known tool that gives great results

No signs just a truck with a flashing arrow 2 miles ahead. The wind was BAD and I think it blew me over the line. Didn't think anything about it because they are always doing work to I20.

Great job! That reminds me of when I went down a road that had fresh oil put down. Didn't have any fresh oil signs posted. I was in the mustang and the car is yellow. I went really slow but it didn't help much. Yeah I then had some work to do.

Well if they didn't have proper warnings up they could be liable for repairs. Sucks about going over the line.
