how do I get the black marks from someone's bumper off my paintwork?

Answer 1

a rag soaked with gasoline!

it`s what the detailers use, and I have used it too!!

gas will not hurt the paint, sometimes it spills when you fill it up, doesn`t hurt it then either!

Answer 2

If it truly is a smudge and not scratched deeply into the paint, get a terry cloth towel--wet it and use a household cleanser--like AJAX---just lightly make small circles and the smudge will eventually rub off--just make sure it is wet and that you gently rub the cleanser powder in circles on the smudge--not all over the place like a lunatic. When you get the black off--dry it and use some wax. Just take your time and good luck

Answer 3

a good wax..usually the black marks are actually whats under the paint..if it has like a texture or some depth in it you cant really remove it..
