So there's some yellow paint on posts in the driveway where I work. Unfortunately I misjudged how much room I had to my side today and as I pulled out scraped against them. There's no gouges or anything, just some paint transfer. How do I get rid of it? I saw something on another forum that said use Laquer remover, but I'm not familiar with the forum so I figured I'd ask here since I know most of you aren't idiots.

Clean the area and use a compound, like Ultimate compund you can get at Advance auto parts. you Might also want to use a Clay bar.

I wouldnt use any type of harsh chemical. Claybar is a great product to try. If it is still staying I might try some bug and tar remover. Still there I would hit it with an aggressive polish.

Depends if you keep it waxed or not.

If waxed you should be able to use a microfiber cloth and detailing spray to just rub it off. If not, the safest thing to do is clay it.
