Can a pc remove paint transfer

Hi. I have some paint transfer on my vehicle from someone backing into me. Is it possible to remove the paint transfer with a porter cable.

Re: Can a pc remove paint transfer

Why buff it when it will wipe off with some solvent/thinner? You'll only *have* to buff if it's scratched.

Havent you guys ever had paint transfer that nothing would remove? I have and had to resort to a PC and a light cutting pad, took it right off.

Re: Can a pc remove paint transfer

You can do it by hand also. Any high-cut polish removes this.

MF pad and 1z UPP/PP do the job.

Re: Can a pc remove paint transfer

What kind of solvent/thinner would you suggest then?

Nope! The virgin laquer thinner I have will take just about anything off. Vehicle paint transfer is one of the easiest things to remove. Road paint is the hardest and it *sometimes* comes off with laquer thinner. You should try some. I will remove wax so you'll need to re-seal.

Re: Can a pc remove paint transfer

Sometimes you have to post in case a super noob is reading. It would ruin someone's day if they just waxed their car and used this stuff.
