Portable Garage...hmmmm?
Okay...so I've had my car in my portable garage for a few rainy days and low and behold I walk out and find that water must have worked its way onto the inside of the "white" painted metal structure poles. What does that mean? Well it means I know have a few scattered speckles of dripped white paint on my convertible top. I don't even want to touch it until I get some advice first.

depends on what type of paint-
water based you might be able to wash off.
oil based wont wash off.
if its oil based paint this wont be easy... if its water based, first rinse and then wash the top with your car or top shampoo and a brush. might take a coupla tries, but that should do it.
if that doesnt do it, its likely that its oil based- if so post back and we will give you the choices...

Thank goodness! 
Just some good old fashioned Blue Coral car wash, water, and sponge took the paint right off. Apparently it was water based!
What a relief!
Thanks,
Josh
