Mark/Scuff removal

[will_0407]

In an unfortunate coincidence, while walking up to my car yesterday and thinking about how I've managed to keep it in good condition (as I'm going to sell it when I find a suitable petrol replacement) I noticed a blue scuff/smear on the rear bumper. No idea where it has come from or how it happened.

Would some white t-cut lacquer get rid of it? I also have this pack sitting at home, not sure if something in there would work?

At my other half's at the moment so not had a chance to try anything yet

Try the SRP first and if that won't shift it then try something a little more agressive. If you do resort to T Cut then follow it up with a fine polish like SRP.

I'm sure wd40 works too.. Worth a try, won't make it any worse.

Oil? I dont see how oil would fix clearcoat/paintcoat

You could have used something like a flash magic eraser sponge. We use them for scuffs and paint transfer whilst valeting. All that is needed is a drop of water instead of any cleaning products or compounds. They can be used for cleaning grubby interior plastics too...

I've used these sponges a few times and agree that they're very easy to use with remarkable results.

WD40 then a warm wet magic sponge and run it in the direction of the mark, had to do this recently on another car, works wonders!

Wd40 is a water displacing solvent, not an oil.
It's absolutely shite at if used like a spray oil as has very little if any lubricating properties, but seems to have plenty of other uses

I get scuffs / scratches like that quite regularly; mine are usually on the lower painted door sill, where your feet scrape against the car when you're getting in. Mine are probably caused by little bits of grit on my shoes.

Anyway, those scuffs come straight off with "TURTLE WAX SCRATCH REMOVER ". The tube looks like this:

Just apply a little of it to a damp microfibre, rub in along the line of the scratch a few times, and hey-presto issue resolved.
