How to revmove paint scuff/scrape from rear bumper?

[Mirage ES Navi]

My 2015 Mirage was hit in a parking lot yesterday and whoever did it left. My question is does anyone have any ideas on how I could remove the marks? I have read degreaser and a mr clean sponge? Any thoughts???

Rubbing compound and a cloth will probably work just fine too.

Nu Finish car wax will remove the marks. I personally wouldn't use rubbing compound since the Mirage's paint is so thin.

Thank You!!! It worked with Rubbing Compund, Pad and a Magic Eraser and sone hot water. This is what it looked like after.

Your right it is thin. I was very careful it was turtle wax wax in the metal tin compound. Some hot water with the magic eraser real easy over it came off. Luckily it missed my parking sensors.

Glad your bumper cleaned up.

Admin note... I moved these posts to a dedicated thread. It'll make it easier for others to find in the future - and I'm sure it's something people search for.

There are several specific "clearcoat safe" rubbing compounds and scratch removers out there. They take a little more time, but you will never blow through the clear using a clearcoat safe product by hand. Here's one I use...



The Magic Eraser is another story. You should avoid using those on your paint. They are much more abrasive than you would expect. Check out THIS guy's detailing blog where he discusses Magic Eraser use on paint.

There is a product specifically designed for this sort of thing. It is called 'detailer's clay'. You can get it at any auto parts store. I used it on this, which mysteriously happened to my Mirage a couple months ago:



Works great.
