Someone Backed Into My Car!

[RyanAndyBob]

:rant: Some time yesterday! I didnt notice untill 1st break today at work... It was either at Work, School, or the Gym. Someone plain as day backed into my car. Not a slight bump, but a paint peeling, cracking my tail light, and leaving black paint on my car kind of rear-end. I know they had to feel going up on my bumper! :mad:
So I was scratching at it and some of the black paint will come off, and I can see my red paint under it. I am wondering what i should use to clean this up as good as possible with out a repaint. :(

Go at it with rubbing compound and see how much comes off. I'd say most of it should, but there is still the matter of how the paint looks underneath.

Take a claybar to it first to see how much of the black paint you can get off with that. Then you will probably need to use a buffer to take out anything left behind.

Re: Someone Backed Into My Car!

So I guess i'll do it this way....
1. Wash clean
2. rubbing compound - What do you suggest?
3. Clay bar
4. Buff the Sh*t outta it
5. Prey to God!

Re: Someone Backed Into My Car!

mineral spirits work well to get paint off. just want to make sure you get it all washed off afterwards...

Clay it before you take a polish or rubbing compound to it. You want to use the least abbrasive method first and work your way up if needed.
