Scuffed Paint

eriley · 05-12-2009, 05:51 PM

Hey, wow there's only 18 threads in here. Anyway, question. A couple of years ago, I got in a minor fender bender, I sideswiped a van that was in my blind spot. It wasn't bad at all, just broke my mirror. But, it also left a black streak down the side of my truck near the bottom from the plastic on the van. I used some rubbing compound shortly afterwards but it barely made a dent in it. I was wondering if there was something else I could do to get it to come off. I can take a pic if necessary just let me know.

rubbing compound and a lot of elbow grease.

Try a claybar too.

if all else fails wetsand it and buff. I had some paint drops on my bedside from me painting my tubs. I was too lazy to use elbow grease so I wet sanded it and used the buffer elbow grease

lol oh, for some reason it was on only threads from the last month. Anyway yeah, I used rubbing compound and it didn't seem to make a dent, but I'll try it again. And yeah I have a buffer, I need to buff anyway since I just debadged it so hopefully I can get it to come off, it goes halfway down the truck though so it's going to be obnoxious.
