I have a white car I bought used. The previous owner hit something orange or red with the front bumper since they're a large orange / red scuff mark.

How can I remove the scuff mark from my white painted bumper (a 2001 Town Car)? I tried polishing compound, it didn't seem to work.

Can I used some paint thinner on a rag? Will that ruin the plastic bumper cover or the surrounding paint?

White spray paint will work.

I'd like to ask the same thing. My car is old, lie 1992 old, so the white paint is quite a bit different than what would come out of a can of white spray paint.

Someone in a dark red car politely hit my back bumper and drove off, leaving a big red mark that I cannot seem to get out. The bumper is plastic, so I don't want to try to rub it out and crack the rest of the old paint. Ideas?

A bit of patience with a good cutting compound usually works . I have seen them in the b/shop using thinners once in a blue moon but they know what they are doing and if you dont you will knacker paintwork . I would not advise it .

Trust me, I take paint transfers off of cars six days a week, ten hours a day. Light duty lacquer thinner will work perfectly, or an adhesive remover. Don't be too aggressive. I've never damaged the exterior of a car with lacquer thinner and have used it inside and out.
