Primer from friend's bumper rubbed off on my car's paint.?

Question

My friend needed help taking his new front and rear bumpers (bodykit for 01 galant) to the shop to install. they didn't fit in anyone else's car, so what better than my 2007 Mazda6s 5-door. both bumpers fit in my car with plenty of room to spare.

to make the long story short, when we were taking the bumpers out, the corner of one of the bumpers grazed my car's bumper. when i looked to see if it left anything, i found these 2 white streaks about 1inch wide each. i tried scratching it out with my nail but it does not budge (when i run my fingernail across it, i cannot feel any change in levels)
my friend said it's probably from the primer of his unpainted bumper and it will just buff out.

is this true? can i actually remove this stain by buffing? or should i go about this a different way, and how?

Answer 1

i own a shop and yes you should be able to take a mild rubbing compound and rub this out of it,then polish it back up,and it shouldn't be noticeable at all on it ,primer will do this,buts its not ruined just needs buffed of,good luck with it.

Answer 2

Try using a powdered kitchen cleanser such as Bon Ami or Clorox on a damp (not wet) sponge.

A thin kitchen sponge, the type that comes with one rough side for scouring is likely best.

First try it while using the sponge side only and be liberal with the powdered cleaner, so that you get a thin paste.

Be patient and spend at least a minute on it.


If it still will not move, then turn over the pad and use the scouring pad, with more cleanser. This time the cleanser must by thinner (more liquid) and you must keep the surface WET. Do not use much pressure as this may damage the original paint.

Wash off all trace of the cleanser when finished, and polish the area.

Note

This is a very mild abrasive and should do the job. It offers a plus in that there is less chance of paint rub-through than there may be if using commercial rubbing compounds.

Answer 3

You can try some white polish remover and buff it out. It's available at your auto parts store.
