People need to learn how to drive

Long story short. I got side swiped while i went to get my haircut. Looked like someone was trying to get out from the other side of the street (both sides were pararell parking) and somehow hit my car. I was so pissed.


Now it doesnt seem it broke the paint. What can i use to get rid of it? i'll have pics tomorrow...

Try Mother's prewax cleaner, meguiar's fine cut cleaner, or meguiars show car glaze (those last two are the "profesional" ones in the tan bottles). Try the mother's first since it is cheaper and if it really is just some of their paint then this should take it right off. You will have to rub pretty hard.

If you have experience with wetsanding, try that. Someone scraped the corner of my front bumper once. No damage, just paint transfer. I wet sanded it right out, followed up by using some rubbing compound, 3M swirl remover, and a fine polish. Theres a tiny bit of my paint that got scuffed up, but its hardly visible anymore.

Brake fluid works wonders... Just be ready to rinse it off real quick!

How about those pics Nismotic....sorry to hear by the way. 3M makes a product call 3m Imperial Hand Glaze. Its almost like a very light duty rubbing compound but with a very mild form of abrasives. If applied by hand I bet it would take care of the poop that you are talking about leaving your paint real smooth. follow up with any polish then wax, etc...
