Help!! How do I get rid of black scuff marks on my pearl white car.

 

Is it from a paint or bumper tranfer by another car or are they on the interior from your shoes?

If it's off the shoes on the door sill area, I've had good luck with goo gone. After a car wash, goo gone, a MF, mild pressure and I'm scuff free.

 

I opt for diluted APC for interior, or a light grade polish for the exerior..

 

Thanks for your replies--I don't think the scuff mark is from another car, it's at the far right corner of the rear bumper. It looks like something black, made out of rubber rubbed against the car. I try to rub it off but the mark is still there. Is there a product out there that safe to use?

 

What did you use to try rubbing it off with ?

 

I thought W 40 might do the trick...it didn't. It looks like a permanent mark that is driving me nuts. The Acura service tech recommended a "remove all" product from Walmart. Hummm....We'll see if it works.

 

try solvent.or if you have rubbing compound(2000grit) that would be ok to use too.for the scuff marks. freddy head detailer from northshore acura north vancouver BC.

 

THANKS FOR THE REPLY I WILL TRY IT!

 

Be careful if using a solvent.....it could have adverse side effects like cloding the paint because of the flex agents in the bumper paint.

Go to the store and get one of those Mr. Clean pads, wet it in warm water and rub out the mark.

Now if the scrap is bad then it may have removed the paint and what you see is the primer material of the bumper itself and that obviously can't be removed but must be re-painted. With out seeing it, or at least a picture, I can only speculate.

Toothpaste.

It has a mild abrasive and whitening agent. It works a little like polishing compound. Rub it in using a terry cloth rag or wash cloth.

However, what you might be seeing (I hope not) is the base plastic of the bumper cover because the color and clear coat has been abraded off.

If that's the case, you will need to get it repainted.
