Can you please help me removing this paint stamped on my front bumber while parking...







Thanks

That MIGHT polish out by hand with something like Poorboys SSR2 or Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine but more than likely will need a machine polish. It can be removed quite easily though. Just hope it hasn't damaged the bumper!

2000 gd wet and paper will take it off with persiverence. Mind and keep it wet.

farecla G3 polish , will do the job (by hand).. and dont polish when the paint is hot or under sun.. and if your paint is scratched deeply in some areas dont try to polish it or you will remove the laquer..

I have scratched a bit to remove and good news it hasn't damaged the bumper!!, i will try the one of the suggestions you guys have given!

Had exactly the same on my front bumper. TCut & elbow grease, then polish (turtle wax) mixed with the tcut, wiped clean and polished. Came off a treat 

Ended up going all round the car and got rid of a load of "niggly" little scratches all round with the same method. Hate seeing it dirty now

Agreed

Lashings of T-cut left for a few hours will soften it up a treat

Some of that may show damage to the lacquer in small areas. May. Go steady.

In my limited detailing experience I'd go with mcguires scratchX 2. To be safe...? Wonder what others would say to that?

[cem_devecioglu]

scratch polishing success depends on may factors.. age of laquer , condition of laquer, location of scratch etc etc..
 
paint distribution unfortunately is not equal at every point.. for example sharp corners will have thinner paint and laquer ,
 
you can easily wipe the paint/laquer with a polish machine..  also roofs are sensitive and heating/freezing cycles damage the laquer more than you can guess.. and if your parking area ( not  necessarily be under) close to pine trees wind can carry its spillage and you are in trouble..
 
and must add, pigeons like to hit newly washed cars with their ......

    I wouldnt machine polish as the plastic heats up too quickly and will burn through the laquer. elbow grease is best

This will buff off easy with Meguiars Scratch X etc, did the same on my old bumper, got everything off except for where the paint was ruined
