The Horror!!!!!
Ring... Ring...
Me: Hey
Brian: Hey, you're not gonna believe what just happened to me!
Me: What? (mind going million miles an hour)
Brian: I just ran over a can of neon orange spray paint
Me: sorry, can't post what I said next!
The city was working on the street behind our house and left the can in the middle of the street. It took us TWO HOURS to get the car clean!!! The undercarriage is still orange. We contacted the city this morning and they are going to pay to have the car detailed.
Thank goodness we got it all off... at least from everywhere visible. There is a little left in the tire's tread. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

...Glad you got it off...I would of went CRAZYI'd try getting more out of the city possibly have them pay for a full above and underbody "detail" (if they even do that) at the dealer, if not some type of depreciation adjustment as a result of the under body being orange now

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the replies! I wanted to let you all know that the City of Wilton Manors very kindly paid to have the ML detailed and the undercarriage pressure washed. So Dr. Phil is back to his former glory and looking good!
Now, we just need to drive the truck a lot to get rid of the bit of orange paint left in the tire thread!
