UH-oh...

OKay....so heres the catch...i got some outdoor garage paint on the front bumper of my car from hitting the side panel of the garage going 2 mph. The aftermath left paint on my bumper goung down....so I was wondering what are some options to get the paint off. As I can't just get a wet towel n rub it off, or scratch it off wit my finger. Please help. Ive heard that mineral spirits, buffing it out, and clay bar would work. True?

mineral spirits will work just make sure you buff and put a good coat of wax on...mineral spirits and paint thinner are 2 different things...I detailed cars for 7 years it will work but i would mix it 50/50 with water just to be on the safe side and go stronger if need be

my dad did some thing like this, but it was a wood utility trailer, he used tooth paste and a tooth brush.... worked great, that was 8 years ago and the paint still looks great.

clay bar works good for this and is not as hard on paint as some other stuff try that first
