paint transfers
As a professional auto transport driver, I have at times had vehicles in my care that a paint transfer (which means paint from another painted surface get transferred to a car or truck) occurs. Usually, I pulled out rubbing and polishing compound and spent a lengthy time rubbing off the paint transfer dulling this painted surface in the process.
Over the Labor Day weekend I pulled my truck behind my patio fence and brushed up against the fence creating a paint transfer.
I Googled "How to remove a paint transfer" and found several different methods from people and businesses how to do this and some included sanding the surface.
One method suggested to use lighter fluid and a microfiber cloth. since I didn't use lighter fluid, I didn't have any. The thought occurred to me how about "Goo Gone?".
It works really well without much effort.
1. Park the vehicle in indirect sunlight.
2. Clean the surface with water and soap to remove dust dirt, etc.
3. Take a microfiber towel and dab the "Goo Gone" onto the cloth.
4. Dab the cloth on the paint transfer and leave enough "Goo Gone" so that there is a small film of it covering the paint transfer and let it sit for 2-3 minutes.
5. Then using light to medium pressure in a circular motion rub the cloth over the paint transfer.
6. After the paint transferred is removed clean the remaining "Goo Gone' off and use your preferred method of washing and waxing your car.
7: For heavy paint transfers you may have to make several applications.
P.S. It will not remove scratches in the paint.
