Unable to remove paint transfer (anyone have any other ideas?)

[hernandez.art13]

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?

[allenk4]

Try a cleaner wax or something like Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Polish

Your Uncle will tell you to wet sand that puppy

[Just02896]

Try goof off or mineral spirits.

[wdmaccord]

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

[Pureshine]

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.

[geekdout]

Plastic razor blade maybe ?

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

[refreshauto]

I just took off some paint transfer off an F250 with a orange hybrid with FG-400

Lacquer thinner?

Not a good idea

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

[DetailedByPrecision]

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.

[sanson12]

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.

[Detailing by M]

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.
