Need to Remove Paint Transfer on Your Car?

[ Edited ]

So, some idiot with a white car clipped the front corner of my car (Metallic Midnight Blue), apparently when they were backing out of a space next to me, and left quite a streak of their white paint on my car.

 

I was livid!

 

After doing some research online about how to safely remove it without damaging my paint, I settled on 'Turtle Wax Scratch & Swirl Remover'.

 

Worked like a charm!

 

It removed every bit of the white paint and there was quite a bit of it! It didn't dull the finish on my car at all!

 

Just wanted to pass it along, in case anyone else has/had this problem. 

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

It worked because it has a mild abrasive in it.  It was a good choice for you. It's actually made to be used with a high speed buffer to remove swirl marks left over after compounding the paint.

@ID2  Well, men have more time than women do to do that kind of thing.

My neighbor used toothpaste. It worked!

 

I have always used rubbing compound from Autozone.
