I got the IPA thanks to bro arj for pointing out the link. I used it neat to remove the paint transfer and it came off easily. I'm concern now that it was too strong for the clear coat. Anyone knows what would be the correct dilution to use? But daym, first time using ipa and it was excellent stuff!

DG UO is an APC, and because its citrious bases, it can also be use as a mild degreaser. 1:20~25 for interior, 1-10~15 for exterior (as apc), 1:5~neat for light degreasing.

Even using it neat, it wont harm the paint, IPA is a very weak solvent. But it'll be a little wasted if u use the spray method as some would have evaporated before it has the time to do its job. Better go 1:1 with distilled water....or 25% even....then you wound have time to wipe whatever it desolved before they're dry up again.

Wanna try going 1:15 and see whether it also work. Cuz i think 1:10 is too strong for fabrics....and also would be a little bit more difficult to rinse off thoroughly....I normally use around 1:20, but if it's as soiled as the picture shows, a stronger dilution would be better.

I see. Perhaps I shud experiment with a weaker dilution and see if it works. I just lightly mist the solution and agitate with a brush, use a clean dry mf to remove the solution and dirt along with it. The perils of working without a wet/dry extractor, sigh...
