well some idiot smudge is bummer on my super white tc and i was wondering what material do i use to get rid of it. My friends told me it was a compound mechanics use to buff it out

 

whats an idiot smudge?

anyways - yeah that would probably work....how bad is it?

 

depends on how bad...you can always try and use meguir's scratch x remover it has always worked well on my cars.

 

its not a scratch...the bumper just smudge itself on it, its about 3 to 4 in long and 1 to 1.5 inch width. I felt it and there was no scratch to the body just paint from the bumper

 

We would need a pic. Because understanding you it is hard do to. Also just go to your local body shop and ask what they would recommend.

 

lol ohh i thought he said some idiot smudged his bummer (meaning hummer) on his car, lol , but take it to a paint shop and get them to fix it.

 

i meant some idiot scuff'd my car body with his bumper when he was turning in to park his car. How do i remove that scuff mark from my car's body.

 

If it's not a lot of paint transfer from the other car just try a good wax paste, and apply a fair amount of pressure when putting the wax on and it should come off.

 

so any kind of wax? cause i have maguire wax will that work?

 

Just try it...

 

try going to your local scion dealer and ask for a bottle of "the treatment". When I bought my tc, I had the environmental paint protection done and they gave me a bottle of it free. It 's great for taking off sap, road tar, and smudges. If this doesn't help, then you will have to have it buffed out. Good luck!

 

Don't use wax to take it off. Use a clay bar, it will come off with a breeze, just read the instructions on how to use it. You can get a clay bar made by meguires for about 15 bucks at pep boys.

 

i have that treatment bottle...i'll try that then i'll try the clay bar

 

clay bar did not remove it nor did the treatment bottle...any other suggestion?

 

Time consuming way...3M rubbing compound (local atuoparts store) then a polish of your choice.

Easy way...get some laquer thinner put a small amount on a rag and wipe it off.

I paint cars for a living and if you brough it to my shop that's exactly what I would do, well that and charge you for an hours labor

 

can you give me a link to the stuff? also when i refelt the smudge it felt kinda like it was a scratch now...like it felt rough and not smooth

 

This thread is missing something......

 

a picture? i dont have a camera so i cant really take one

 

any other suggestions? if anyone know the compound body shop use to remove scratch that would help

 

Well if you can feel the scratch with your fingernail that usually means that you need to do a little wetsanding. You'll need 2000grit paper, rubbing compound, and polishing glaze.
