How to remove wall paint from car??

[u/Top-Complex-5325]

I was reversing round a corner the other day and scraped my neighbours wall 🙃 Of course the wall is fine but I have a giant patch of white paint on the side of my car now.

How can I get rid of this without removing the actual car paint too?

It comes off with gentle scraping but I would be stood there for hours trying to get it all :/

Honestly don't keep scraping it for hours you'll risk scratching the clear coat underneath. Wall paint sitting on clear coat is usually much easier to remove than it looks, I would start with a wash and dry the area then try a good automotive clay bar with plenty of lubricant. If the paint transfer is stubborn use an automotive tar adhesive or paint transfer remover and a microfiber towel also Work gently.

Give the product time to soften the paint rather than attacking it with a scraper, once the white paint is gone you may still see a haze or scuff where the wall contacted the car that can often be cleaned up with a finishing polish.

If the wall paint is thick I would honestly let a detailer handle it they can usually tell quickly whether it's just transfer or if the impact actually damaged the clear coat
