    Paint rash on plastic door mirror

    Any idea how to remove the blue paint without damaging the plastic on this mirror?

    Clay Bar should do it.

    Never thought about trying clay bar. I'll give it a try. As Mike always says, "least aggressive method first."

    Give some 'cleaner wax' a try.

    Looks like you have surface paint transfer. The blue has rubbed onto the black. If the black is not painted (it is coloured plastic) then you can clay, polish or sand off. After polish out same as any solid colored plastic trim. Any good trim coating will restore to new condition.

    If the plastic surface is hard and smooth then a cleaner/wax with a microfiber applicator should do the trick.

    If it's pebble textured plastic than a product like Stoner's Xenit with a terry cloth towel and some careful rubbing.

    Quick update. . . Just as I was about to order the Stoner's product , I found a can of Oops! It worked like a champ.

    Thank you to all for the suggestions!
