Grass chemical all over my paint!
The other day I was driving to work to get some papers I forget. I had just waxed my G sedan with Mothers Reflections car wax. I spent 4 hrs working on the car that day. Washed it,then used Mothers Clay Magic,then used Meguiars #7,then carnuba wax,and then The 2 step process of Mothers Reflections. Then I went in and detailed the interior. Anyways, when i got to my job there were lawn mowers out and about. I didn't really pay attention to them. I parked in the front of the building. I went in just for a second. Well when I came out there were a group of lawn mowers around my car. I walk over to them asking if any thing was wrong. This doper says,"yeah man sorry about your paint".Then walks away. I look at my paint and all of the chemicals they had been using were stuck to my paint! I blew up!! I was so mad at them!! i could have punched his headlights out. He didn't even have the guts to say sorry to me. That's what made me mad. SO i'm driving home mad as heck. I try to wash the car again,But the chemical is still there. I have tried everthing, yet nothing works. Anyone know how to get this stuff off?

Sorry to hear about this....
I know I'd be on full flame
Who are these guys...
Did you get the details, company & names??
They should have liability insurance.
If it screws up your paint you may want to pursue this as a claim...

and you have to go to court, it will be good to have proof.
They could say you never called or wrote, or yeah, he called us 6 months later.
Good luck.

I would have the company pay for a professional detailer to do the car. How much could that cost them? It's their fault for the overspray and it's not some ugly Dodge Neon SRT that you could shrug off damage to. Tell them you demand reimbursment for the damages. And if not, they could see you in court. But be sure to play it cool at first. Noboday likes to deal with some fuming, cursing jerk when they don't know what's going on. Explain what the damages are and how you tried to fix it yourself. And if they won't budge, then give 'em hell and threaten the whole court thing for ruining your paint. If that happened to me, my wife would have them folding our laundry once they were through fixing the paint.
That chemical will strip the paint. The same thing happened to my uncle's Lexus. Pretty much every affect panel has to be repainted. The chemical flaked the paint within 2 weeks.

seems to me if you work in a professional building--the management company is also liable--since they hired the lawn company. Unless--you signed a waiver or hold harmless agreement while parked there.
You know--if these jack azzes had more than a $577 car--they might actually not spray chemicals around any car, let alone a nice one.
You should have the owner of the company pay for damages--if it requires re-painting--take them to small claims court and sue for $3000 or whatever it takes to repaint. Maybe then they will actually take care not to damage personal property.
stupid dumb FUKKKS
I feel your pain.

You know, it's really ashame that amongst all these good posts and advice that we have to endure this immature type of post. #1, I've owned an SRT4 before my G. #2, I now own an SRT8. Both of these cars will run circles around the G in acceleration, handling, top speed, and everything else you can think of. To say that paint overspray would be ok on an SRT4 but not on your "beloved G" is not only rediculous, but IMO, showing your jealousy of a much less expensive car that outperforms yours.
Shame on you. This situation would be bad regardless of which car you own. Even if it was a 14 sec car (not SRT4).........

So how do you like your SRT8?
sidenote--I can't stand it when on this site or other sites---someone will say--it's still a chevy, or dodge or its an american car or whatever in reference to a viper, vette, z06 vette, cobra, chrysler C, all the srts etc.
Then say, we drive infinitis--when someone can easily say they are nissans.
