Default Yellow shower, bad juju

Sorry about the title (if you don't know, don't ask)
A bloody French Woman clipped my LH wing mirror today. Boom.
She is probably saying 'a bloody Rosbif in a poncy car clipped my retroviseur today, Merde!'
Anyway the thing erupted in a spray of electrochromic goop.
By the time I got home the goop had dried on the paintwork and tonneau cover into nice little yellow streaks.
Would it clean off? Would it hell.
Anyway if it happens to you, get it off the paintwork + leather PDQ.
Eventually I found that white spirit will slowly dissolve it without damaging either paint or leather.
Just something to remember.

Merde indeed!

Glad you got it off, I know that is nasty stuff.

Ouch!

Just the glass broken or damaged the mirror head as well?

Just the glass, £50 for an electrochromic so nowhere near as bad as I thought

Or even as bad as she thought! Delivering l'addition to Madame in your Liebherr would minimise any deliberation on the question of liability.
