I accidentally backed my car into a cable box (Very Gently, I know it was stupid.) The cable box was green and the green from the cable box kind of ''smeared'' onto the right back bumper of my car. I've been trying to scrub it off, but it's still there. What can I do to make the green go away??

Take some cleaner wax (such as turtle wax, or some rubbing compound on a soft cloth and you can get the transferred paint off. Be sure to wax the bumper well after you use rubbing compound, and do not apply too much pressure!

the paint from the box has simply just rubbed itself onto the paint on your car, the proper way to remove it, is to sand off the transferred paint and have the bumper re painted, at a very high cost, however there are a few things you can try to make it look half decent while you save up the few hundred dollars for the paint.. start by going to the hardware store and getting some buffing compound, use a wet cloth and rub a small amount of the compound onto a small portion of the green paint, be careful not to take off the original car paint. if that doesn't work try wet sanding, which is using a super high grit sandpaper and soapy water to remove the green paint, . i recomend at least 1400 grit. then clean it up again with the buffing compound.

Try buffing it with an electric buffer and turtle wax.

Have your car painted the same color as the cable box
