So I did an AIO on my aunt's car. Since she is always letting me do test spots on the car and even came out in one of my videos :D

Not sure what this is from, but it looks like it's from one of the yellow poles at the gas station. I know it looks like the paint is chipped off, but it is clearly visible that it is on top of the paint, plus you can feel it on top too.

^ Wheels, tires, and paint cleaned up, clayed and 1 step polished with Meguiar's synthetic x press spray wax for a final wipe down.

^Also in the 2nd picture I just noticed the paint cracking, I have to go inspect it actually and see what that is exactly. She did tell me that she hit something.

I tried

clay,
AIO
3M rubbing Compound and nothing,

The only other route I can think of is to wet sand it out. Anyone got any other ideas?

Try a cleaner wax or something like Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Polish

Your Uncle will tell you to wet sand that puppy

I've had some luck with TarX on certain transfers.

My go to stuff works ever time is goof off pro strength. Just put a little on a MF towel and should take it right off.

Plastic razor blade maybe ?

To me it almost looks like its not paint but maybe some sort of yellow plastic that transferred.

Not a good idea

You could also try some carnauba wax and microfiber applicator with some good elbow grease:props:

Art, if you were not able to remove it during your paint correction phase I have a feeling you need a solvent to tackle this.

If you can't take it off with rubbing compound, what I would try is gasoline on a microfiber towel. If not try a magic eraser, final solution would be to sand it.

Lacquer thinner is your go to on paint transfer.

A lot of good suggestions here:dblthumb2:
If the transfer is from a parking lot pole it is probably enamel.Try something more aggressive like a compound/rotary/white polishing pad to bust it off in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
