    Question How do I remove paint transfer?

    I accidentally scraped my side mirror against another car yesterday. And I tried to buff it off w/ m105+yellow pad on my pc7424 but no luck.

    Before:


    After:


    I do have a smoother surface now, is there any way I can remove that mark? Thanks in advance.

    Surprised 105 didn't take it off. By your pic it looks like you go the majority of it off. I've dealt with a similar looking scuff on my wife's old Ford Edge that I was able to take of by hand with some polishing compound and a terry cloth towel. Maybe give that a try?

    Try miniral spirits or paint thinner on a terry cloth rag. Do a spot test first. The unprotected transfer paint should be the only thing it affects. The rest gas CC protection.

    Compounding will work but it's aggressive to the surrounding area.
