Remove transfer paint from accident

At the end of last year, my girlfriend was backing out of a spot next to my car and cut the wheel so much that her bumper decided to smash into the side of my car. I wanted to kill however she was crying and sorry so I had mercy. I told her not to worry and we won't report it to the insurance. (dummy me)

Here is a picture of what it looks like now:



I plan to have the car door repaired and the whole car repainted in the future but for the time being, does anybody know of a trick to get rid of the transfer paint? ... or is it too late.

Thanks in advance.

archebee4you had to of detailed cars before, sparkyssb what he is saying is use the 3m rubbing compund 1st to take the transfered paint off, then use the cleaner wax all over the car to take of any imperfections within reason, the KLASSE AIO is used to put the shine, (Mirror like, one of the best polishes out there). The pinacle wax is pasty and will with stand the elements,

3m take excess paint off
cleaner wax all over car to take crap off paint
KLASSE AIO to gloss up the paint
pinacle or any good paste wax to keep that hard work of yours looking good after a couple wash's/rainfalls!!

good luck

i'm not sure about the light scratches u can see what the rubbing compound does and try maybing scratch remover from mothers it worked on my gf dark blue camry it all depends how deep the scratches are and an orbital polisher will be ur best friend for this job, i know how bad c-town winters can be but doing all these things will bring it back to showroom shine,

and on a side note our CAVS will bring it tommm hell ya, and as always GO BROWNS, sorry im from ctown and new to FL only for a year. def miss my ohio sports.

If you can put your finger nail in the scraches they are not coming out! you can try to lightten them up with rubing compund, if there not that deep rubbing compound will take them out. If you know anybody who works at a car dealrship or body shop you can have them buff it out with a compound and then a glaze, then a sealer, then you can wax it with paste wax, but make sure whoever buffs it knows what the fu(k there doing or your gonna have nasty A$$ swirl marks or even burns in you paint

Any more Questions just ask i use to detail cars, i did it since i was 15-20, and i know all the good **** you should use and how to use it

for the easy way, you can use a little bit of paint thinner on a rag to get rid of the excess paint. your clearcoat should be fine against it.
