HELP! how to best remove paint scuff?

[maximus96]

I accidently scraped the front of the car against the garage door frame yesterday. Now there are two considerably size paint marks on the car. What should I do to best remove it. I have some basics, clay bar, PC7336 with a few pads, menzerna IP, zaino ZPC, etc, please help!!

I`d try the clay first.

Hi Maximus96



try

- Mineral spirits.

- Clay

- M83 or Menz IP.

- LSP

I would try a cleaner wax or polish or mild compound by hand.



You could try some solvents but it usually comes off with some elbow grease and mild compound.

It doesn`t look too bad. You could try claying it but I don`t think it would do too much really. Personally, I`d just hit it with a polishing pad and IP or some other comparatively mild polish.

Why clog up a $20+ piece of clay and potentially marr the finish more? Just wipe the paint transfer away with laquer thinner. It will take about 10 seconds and the only thing you`ll maybe need to do after is wax it.

In addition to David`s 10 second recommendation, Sprayway makes some wipes designed to remove graffiti. I recently used them to remove the spatter from a run over spray paint can. It worked very well for that even thought the paint had dried for some time. I just tried them on some paint transfer, similar to what you have, and it made quick work of it.
