Removing Paint Marks From a Cars Finish

RE: Removing Paint Marks From a Cars Finish Post By Marty (Guest Post) (09/13/2008) I tried the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Sponge on some white paint from a parking lot post. It worked perfectly. I kept it quite damp and used light pressure. The sponge package does recommend against this application, perhaps because overuse could do damage and they want to warn us.

But be careful not to use too much elbow grease because when I used it to remove a bigger paint marking it messed up the car's clear coat a little. I don't know what is in that magic eraser that would cause that - but be careful! Editor's Note: There is an abrasive in the Magic Eraser's. They say not to use them on anything with a shiny finish.

My goal? To see if I could get the numerous purple marks left on my silver car by the door of my wifes car being slammed repeatedly against mine by my overzealous oldest child every time he got out of her car. I am trying to sell my car and had been agonizing over how to remove the unsightly blemishes without buying expensive buffing equipment or using chemicals that I couldnt be sure would not eat through to the metal. How thrilled I was to find that the magic eraser took the paint transfer off in a matter of seconds leaving no mark behind to show it was even there. I know I looked like a crazy man running around my car at 8 in the morning with a big, stupid grin on my face, scrubbing at anything that even remotely looked like it could be removed with the eraser. What a wonderful product, that magic eraser. I suppose my wife will notice the small, dirty, rolled up ball of sponge like material I gingerly placed back on the shelf with an smile of satisfaction and will have to go out and get another one as soon as she gives me hell for not throwing the old one away. :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Paint Marks From a Cars Finish Post By Mary (Guest Post) (11/15/2007) I had yellow paint scrape marks on my Acura blue paint finish. My husband carefully wiped Goof-Off on it and it came completely off. Do not rub in, carefully wipe off stain.

I'd like to avoid body shop because of expense (very poor!). Do you think the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge could work and where do you get it?

Make sure it's safe for clearcoat finishes. Note: this is NOT rubbing compund, if your car has a clear coat finish as most have these days, rubbing compund will remove that clear coat and you will have a "spot" that will become more noticable over time.
