Hi Guys,  
  
 I’ve just noticed some yellow paint mark on my car’s door. I don’t see any dent or dings. What would be the best and cheapest way to remove this?  
  
  
  
 Thanks a lot for your help.  
  
  
  
 Stephan.

Most cleaner waxes will take it off or a pre-wax cleaner. Available of any parts store. Follow the directions on the container.

A clay bar is perfect for this.

If you aren’t comfortable doing this yourself, ask around for recommendations for a good detail shop and take it to them. The important consideration is to take off the yellow paint without damaging your car’s finish.

NuFinish Scratch Doctor also works.
