    Best product to remove paint transfer???

    A neighbor asked me to clean up her bumper that got hit. It's mostly paint transfer which a few small dents. I was looking to see what people recommend as a good product to remove paint transfer as well as what pad or if hand application is better.


    Thanks!

    Is it car paint or house paint? One of those good solventy paint cleaners that they don't make anymore because of VOC regs work best on house paint. If it's car paint, you're probably better off with something like M105. I'd use an orange pad. Some people tout clay for paint transfers but it never works for me.

    So, what if it is house paint? My friends Tacoma scraped against a house.

    I would try claying it or mineral spirits first. Why polish / compound and (remove clear coat) if its not necessary? The water based Goo Gone also works well, along with Griots Adhesive Remover.

    Just start with clay, then move to a more aggressive product.

    Compound will work, but why not check if claying works instead.

    Same with lady hawk.

    I'm confused now lol

    Before AG i would have just got some rubbing compound and a microfiber towel. Then just rub by hand. (But got kicked and yelled at for even bringing up compound first)
