Ok, so I was in a hurry, being careless, etc., and I lightly scraped the edge of my bumper on the corner of the garage. There was no structural damage, but a bunch of old, red paint got onto my bumper. I tried to wash/scrub it off, but it only helped a little.

Does anyone know of a good way to get this paint off of my car?

 

Claybar worked great for me when I got some road overspray on my car, so I'm sure it'll work fine for you.

 

is this the one where you spray and roll the dough thingy up ? thanks

 

Yeah, kits usually come with some sort of spray lubricant, the claybar itself and some sort of wax to put on when you're done (since it strips the wax). Well spent $20 bucks at Advance Auto, if you ask me.

 

compound....

 

oh yea, i also tried the rubbing compound which is supposed to remove scratches, but that didnt work for mine. imma go ahead and try the claybar kit. thanks guys =D

 

Okay guys, i was in my parents bathroom, and i saw my moms nail polish remover. I said what the heck, she told me i can use it, so i did, and wow it removed the paint marks finally. But there were some black spots left over. I'm gonna go and use the clay bar kit for that.

 

I just used this on my 4th gen today. Was at a 4 way stop w/the lights blinking red. Well some idiot came flying through the light in their Celica from my right to my left and didn't stop for the light and in the middle of the intersection I must have barely came in contact with the side of it. D@mn ****'s out in Downtown Tacoma. Well the dude just flew off and I couldn't even tell I hit the guy so I just drove home. Well lucky me, I found a good 3 inch x 1 inch red mark on my front bumper. Bought some compound and rubbed d@mn hard and it all came out.

Funny thing is.. no paint missing from my car and there is part of my license plate that was rubbed off... So im guessing the person driving the Celica isn't too happy right now. Probably a good 6 inch strip on their car that was rubbed off.
