Default Paint transfer

How do you remove paint transferred from another vehicle?

Thanks

Paint thinner & cloth.

2000 grit Abralon pad to minimise the scratches.

Cutting paste & polish/wax.

Would farecla g6 or g10 with a cloth work? I'm concerned about using any kind of sandpaper directly. I'll get a pic shortly.

Next time you filling up at the petrol station take a soft cloth and put some unleaded on it and rub paint transfer. Comes off like cured wax

A good polish will get most of that off, if not T cut it first. No need to go near it with any form of abrasive without trying that first.

Brasso or some other proprietary metal polish. Many years ago, I worked with a paint sprayer who flatted the finish coat using 1200 wet an dry and brasso. Also that is what I used to get overspray off my wheel when I had to touch up a scrape.

All came off easy using super resin polish. Thanks for the advice. Now need to sort the dent out.
