Stubborn Paint Transfer Removal

Re: Stubborn Paint Transfer Removal

Once again, Meguiar's makes another outstanding product. I attempted wetsanding with 3000 grit and nothing so I went out and got Meguiar's Rubbing Compound which got out everything. Thank you for making products that actually do what they say on the package.

Unfortunately, due to my previous attempts with ultimate compound and the DA, I almost went through the single stage white into the primer in one area as there was a greyish white spot. At least I believe thats what had happened, either that or that mark was there before as it was the initial impact point of the crash.

I guess I know to start out with Rubbing Compound with its DAT for any heavy paint transfer from now on.

Thanks for everyone's advice.

Glad to see it worked for you!

That's great. Wow, it's hard to imagine that it got out what the sandpaper would not. Good to know. Thanks for sharing your success. Hopefully the surrounding paint isn't too thin. Oh well, live and learn.

It might have if I kept at it with the sandpaper, but I was very hesitant and only rubbed the mark for about 10 seconds very gently. I've never practiced wetsanding a car's paint and only keep sandpaper for headlights so I didn't want to ruin anything. I'll need to make a trip to the junkyard one day to get a part to practice on.
