I went through the drivethru at McDonalds a little while ago and rubbed up against a damn bollard!!! Well now I have red bollard paint all around my wheel well... How can I get this off without ruining my paint and having to have the area repainted??? I'm not having a good day.....

Did you get Fries with that?
Try wet sanding & rubbing compound. |

wet sanding the area with a hi-grit paper should do the trick.
then hit it with a buffer, mild pad and compound... then swirl mark reducer.

1200-2000. make sure you get WET sand paper. It should have a grey backing NOT a tan backing. Move in "X" directions. The human eye cannot pick up defects in paint that criss-cross. Do not role the edge of your fender with the sand paper, otherwise you're going to remove paint. Also, make sure you get a wet sanding sponge and DO NOT use your finger tips to wet sand.
3M makes a great compound and its pretty moderately priced. They also make a swirl mark remover. When you're all done sanding and buffing, get some Zaino car polish, clay bar and wax the area you wet sanded. -Dan

Try laquer thinner first, it will be much faster and take the paint out of the scratches.

nope... its not abrasive enough to cut through the clear coat.
My guess is that it will not give you full or complete results... it might even do nothing...
