twobears Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Daughter has learnt to drive and is generally very good but someone boxed her in in a very tight car park yesterday and she's scraped the car against a bollard. Doesn't look very scratched but car has red and yellow paint stripes on it from bollard and it's a pale metallic blue car. Any advice on how to best clean it off? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Wash like normal. Give it a polish. Then have a more serious look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Use the tip of your fingernail to see if it's going to polish off, if it's a raised mark it'll come off, if it's an indented type mark then it won't Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobears Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Thanks Dave. It looked like raised marks yesterday afternoon in the pouring rain. Didn't want to stand outside for too long to be honest and daughter was so upset by what she'd done that she was in tears which just added to the general wateriness of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Generally after a hand polish it looks a million times better therefore making everyone happier again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 As Stew said. ^^^^ But with it being a bollard you could be lucky.(house paint sort of stuff) Give it a wash, then with a tissue wipe it with white spirit or turpentine/substitute. Wipe then rince,wipe then rince a few times. If that gets rid of most of it then give it a polish. Sit back and feel good or sit back and feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 G3 will get the paint off and if there are small scratches and your feeling confident you could even wet and dry then bring the paint back up with a da polisher.....not for the faint hearts though!
