Best method to remove paint transfer?
Been asked to look at a red car that made contact with a garage frame backing out. I'm told it has white paint [transfer] damage.
Before I look at it what is the suggested method for dealing with paint transfer?

I would think Claying would be worth a try, and the best bet.

Re: Best method to remove paint transfer?
Claying never really works for me. First thing I would try is mineral spirits to see if it will dissolve it (depends if it's house paint or paint used on a metal door). Then if you happen to have an old paint cleaner, one of the solventy ones (the old Meg's products are good for this, Medallion, Body Scrub, old #2) or Poorboy's Pro Polish. I also find that Zaino Z-PC works really well on paint transfers, for some reason.
Heck, you can try clay also.

I give this a try if I run it to trouble. Thanks

This was my first thought. I was going to try the Nanoskin towel.

All good suggestions. Give all a try, one of them or a combination of should do it.

Re: Best method to remove paint transfer?
Just add....
To remove paint transfer faster use a clearcoat safe compound instead of a paint cleaner.
What I always do is apply the product, (paint cleaner, polish or compound), by hand using some type of cloth applicator. The fibers of the cloth provide their own type of abrading action plus help whatever product you're using to get more bite.
The reason to work by hand instead of machine is because,
A: You can exert a LOT of force with just 2-3 fingers pushing down against the paint.
B: Smaller footprint. 2-3 fingers lets you keep the focus and the pressure JUST on the paint transfer. With a buffing pad the pressure is exerted over the entire face of the pad.
(That is unless you're using a rotary buffer on edge but his is risky because you're generate a lot of heat REAL FAST.)
Then after you've removed the paint transfer by hand - machine polish the area to remove any toweling marks you instilled in the process by pushing hard while rubbing. (normal and should expected).
