Does anyone know how to remove road strip paint from my Jeep? It's on the lower cladding.

I'd also try WD40,
RainX (yup, I read that somewhere)
Klasse AIO if I had it,
Goo-Gone
Kerosene (delicately)
I'm not sure what cladding means, I've never been off road. Well once, but I discovered I was allergic to fresh air and exercise.
I'd wash the cladding with soap/water after the paint was gone then apply a restorative product like wax or armourall or ????
Good luck and tell us what worked,

If the paint is not too fresh I would use clay bar on it unless the surface is dimpled or irregular. Otherwise petrol based cleaning products are your best bet.

I'd try a claybar first, then maybe a wheel brush + simple green.

my bf has small paint splatters on the back wheel well of his nsx, i think its like a plastic or something simular, would paint thinner actually be safe on that material?

i wouldnt use paint thinner on plastic, it could either melt it or just discolor it.
