Accidentally rubbed up against a white wood wall with car, need suggestions

[Saint Nick]

I accidentally rubbed the right side of my car up against a wood wall. How can I get the paint off without ruining the paint underneath?

Any tips?

claybar

Claybar will most likely not remove the paint scuffs.

You will need to use a rubbing compound followed by a polishing compound, depending on how deep the scuffs are.

You should post this on Autopia.

Rub up against a wall that matches your car color.

Turtle wax makes a good rubbing compound that is quite cheap ($4-5 at Wal mart). Follow it with polishing compound and wax.

good ole No.7 works wonders. i would use a cleaner first, just to see exactly where youre needing to refinish.

I refuse to advise without pics.

I'll give it a shot with soap and water to clean it up. I was wondering if Goo Gone was a good idea...a search engine result mentioned I should try Goo Gone. Won't that take off my clear coat?

Otherwise, I will go for the Turtle Wax.

Goo gone bug and tar remover is specifically formulated not to harm auto paint.

a *little* lacquer thinner and that paint transfer will come right off, wax the spot after

I had this 3M product in my car that did wonders on my Civic when I got rear ended by a Yellow cab. His paint was all over my bumper, but no dent's and no real damage.

All I did was apply it and it rubbed right off. I forget the product name though.
