Hey guys and gals,
Looking for some advise on what to use to remove some paint that’s on my fenders.

I was over on the right lane, along with everyone else, because of construction and the left lane was closing up ahead, when someone thought that they have enough room to squeeze by.
Well turns out they didn’t and hit the car behind me and then continued and their mirror left a nice black mark from back to front on my front driver fender.

I didn’t see any scratches and when I run my finger over the line, it’s smooth.
Ive tried some WD-40 and elbow grease, but no difference.
Any ideas are welcome.

 

magic eraser?- iv'e never tried it on something like this - just a thought

 

What you want to try first is a paint polish. If that doesn't work, then a mild rubbing compound should take it off. Be careful not to overdo it, you will take the paint off! Magic eraser might work, but it will scuff up your paint, so a polish would be required afterwards.

I know that Kerosene might work on it if it is painted.

 

Thanks for replying.
Think im going to try the magic eraser. People at work are telling me the same.

 

Use with caution, too much pressure will damage the paint, but used ligthly, it will remove "most" marks.

 

Just one more suggestion if the magic eraser doesnt work out. I get a lot of good feedback about Motsenbockers lift off paint/graffiti remover. Always test it in an inconspicuous area first, but it's generally pretty safe for the surface you're removing it from.

 

I would go and by a Mothers Claybar kit and use that. It works great and will not harm your paint. I use it once a year on my mustang and it removes any blemishes and marks prior to waxing and polishing. I will be doing the same to my jeep as well. For more stuborn marks you may want to us a rubbing compound on a lint free cloth or wax aplicator. You can find either at Canadian Tire or local parts store.

Cheers

 

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Magic eraser works great. It didnt leave any scratches either.

 

Hmmm...you know you never know what works!! It's like those interior detail wipes. In stead of the expensive name brands use baby wipes and get them in bulk from Walmart. They are great for everything interior wise including leather. Good enough for babies bottom, good enough for my interior. Another good product for dusting the interior is swiffer dusters.

 

Just go to napa and ask what they have for a pre paint prep cleaner. It will take it off. Also a light rubbing compound will sand it off but be careful on you original paint.
