Thanks for the tips guys, I ran out of thinners yesterday but I'll be heading back down for supplies today. I'll try the rag trick and I'll grab a few different solvents to see what has the best results. The scrubbing, then pressure wash seems to move it but at the same time does kind of spread...

Not sure if this is the right section or not but I'm hoping someone has a solution. Today I reversed out of my driveway, not knowing someone has lost a spray can out of there car that had landed on my driveway. I ran over it, it exploded, now it's everywhere. I rent, the house is nice...

Oh cool, at least I'm not the only one clicking around getting increasingly jealous. I currently share the space with the laundry and two stupid cats so I'm a little limited in what I can do. Currently this mess; I was planning on making a bench on castors for the bike on the left over the long...

Thanks mate! Unfortunately my garage isn't really worth posting, currently renting but trying to sort out a good balance of room vs projects. Should be buying our first house towards the end of the year so I'm using this place for inspiration Witt portable equipment.
