Driving our new 05 home from some errands, I hit something in the road and felt like I drove over something small. I turned into a parking lot to walk back and see what it was. Guess what? It was a can of spray paint and it exploded when i ran it over!!! dark grey paint all over the passenger side and the rear of the vehicle plus the tires wheel wells, windows and underside!! I drove home which was thankfully near by and grabbed some Mother's cleaner/wax and got all the paint off the body first, then got some mineral spirits for the tires glass underside etc. Well guys 8 hours later (I started at 4 pm its now 12M) after a full wash, clay barring, polish and wax with full detailing she's back to perfect again. I can't believe someone lost a can of spray paint in the road! Thankfully my tire wasn't cut and I got this mess off the T-Reg. My hands are raw, my back is hurt'n. I know it could have been so much worse and I'm thankfull for that. I never saw the can because the guy in front of me must have just missed it and he was pretty close to me. I've been driving for over 20 years and I never had anything like this happen before :censored:

Thanks. Another 4 more hours of cleaning in the daylight and I think she's 100%...you never know what could be in the road, be carefull out there!!!
 
Good thing it's warm enough or you have a warm work area to work on the car. My garage is 25 deg. F. right now and no way in hell could I spend 8 hrs out there. An amazing tale for an amazing vehicle.
