How to remove paint

Friend of mine ran into a pole and her bumper has beige paint embedded. Anyone know how to remove that beige paint without stripping her factory paint?

Honestly, use wax and some elbow grease. I found this out when I was in high School. Just use some wax, but cleaner wax will do better. I personally recommend Meguires. Good luck.

AHHHHH NOOOO!! DO NOT use touch up paint on top of the other paint. there is no need to and it may look like crap.

Just use a cleaner wax.. It will take off the other cars paint and leave your as it was befroe the pole jumped out and poked you.

Enjoy.

cleaner wax is great, but i think 3m rubbing compound will work the best.

If you use Goof Off or a paint cleaner or rubbing compound, just make sure you wax that section when you are finished. It will remove all of the wax. Btw, you are still going to take some of the clear coat off when you remove the unwanted paint. There is no way of getting around that. Just make sure to tell her to watch out for poles when she's driving.
