Remove Paint Scrape from Car

Unfortunately, recently our garage was a little too narrow when pulling the car into it. The side panel scraped the wall and some of the paint scraped off the wall and transferred onto the car.

Before

Equipment

• WD-40
• Paper Towels
• Magic Eraser
• Rag
• Soapy Water
• Car Wax & Towel

Instructions

Step 1: Remove the Paint

• Spray the WD-40 on the paint to be removed, use the paper towels to prevent it running down the side of your car
• Use the Magic Eraser to carefully scrub the paint off

Step 2: Protect Your Car

• Use soapy water and a rag to wash the areas where you removed the paint
• Wax the areas where you removed the paint
