Some a$$hole has hit my car whilst parked and left their white paint on my rear bumper, then kindly drove off :no:

Thankfully the only damage is the paint!!

I have a brilliant red Audi, so the white paint isn't exactly appealing to me!!

Anyone have any suggestions of how to get this off with minimul damage to my paint work??

Many thanks
 
If it's been deposited by the other car it should just polish off by hand. What products if any do you have?

I've had successful results in the past using 3M Finesse-It by hand. It should be relatively easy to put right if it's just a scuff and none of your red paint has been lifted?
 
Not much product at the moment as saving up for a da polisher or rotary with the various bits and bobs to go with it, so only have the basics, ipa, tardis, ag srp, and some various bits for trim, tyres etc.

There is no damage to the car, literally just their paint, but had a go 2 weeks ago with a little suger soap and a tooth pick to see if i could prize it off, but it feels pretty stuck on there!

Seen on a google search someone mentioning some wet & dry with some ipa, but not keen on that until i get the da to be honest, so was hoping someone else had some experience in this kind of situation that could give me some pointers!!

Thanks for the reply, and will bear it in mind
 
Should just come off with something like megs scratch-x. I wouldn't recommend using wet and dry though unless you have a DA
 
Go nowhere near it with wet & dry as you'll end up having to get the panel resprayed.

The white will be easily lifted by a simple light cutting polish. If you're about to get a DA try and buy some Menzerna products as part of a package and that should be you sorted.

yeah that's the sort of package i was looking at as vag paint is hard by all accounts, perfect if it will help with this little issue!

I appreciate your help
