How do you remove someone elses paint from your car?

My friend has white 2006 mustang gt. It is in excellent condition. The other day after being parked at the gym he noticed that there was a little bit of red paint on his bumper. There is no damage to the bumper at all, no scratches either. Just looks like someone bumped up against it and left some of their paint. My question is what is the best way to remove it without damaging his paint.How do you remove someone elses paint from your car?
you can use a lot of products out there to remove paint. some of it is designed to remove it and yet others can damage it if used wrong. Yes you could buff it out but try using a little laquer thinner on a rag. Don't rub real hard or you can damage the paint under it. Since the paint from the other car is on top of the wax and clearcoat it isn't really stuck on as hard as the paint on your car. I have also used easy off oven cleaner to remove paint off of vehicles that have been bumped or had lettering put on the sides for commercial vehicles. Just spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes then wipe clean. make sure it is not cold when you do this as the warmer it is the faster and better it will work. Also no matter what you use insure that you give the area a good waxing before you let the car sit out in the weather as any cleaner that you use will remove or damage the wax coating as well. If you have scratches in your paint after you remove the unwanted persons paint then you can get touch up paint at your local body shop or parts store. Touch up the paint prior to waxing or it won't stick. I have over 5 years body shop experiance and have had to remove tons of paint off cars including graffitti spray painted onto vehicles. Believe me ';Easy Off oven cleaner'; does work for the more tougher jobs. For minor jobs try graffiti remover or goof off. In some cases just ';WD40'; will work. Good luck.How do you remove someone elses paint from your car?
any car wax will remove the paint. don';t waste your money on any expensive products
I would use the edge of an old credit card, carefully.
The best way is to use buffing compound and then re - wax it afterwards.
