How to Remove Paint Transfer and Scuffs in 10 Minutes

This is a Porsche 997 TT that came into the shop as I was filming/working on the 2018 GT3's in last weeks video. The gentlemen had accidentally scraped a wall whilst pulling into his garage. First the paint transfer needs to be removed chemically, then the scratches below the PT must be removed mechanically to restore the paint. Here's how it's done. Hope this is helpful. -L

I've been learning from this channel for 9 years. I've even chatted over the phone with this gentleman. He is my go-to, keep it up, bruv.

[@loafboi_]

4:20 - Nice catch, license plate.

[@white5136]

To sad for the owner :/

[@Neur0bit]

Thanks Larry. Awesome tip! FYI - Learned the hard way. Goof Off will melt plastic. I attempted to clean a clear dome cover from a security camera (sticky stuff on it), and it literally melted the plastic. So just be careful. Stuff is much stronger than Goo Gone.

[@andysgaragetherapy]

Great video Larry. The ease at which you conduct yourself inspires confidence in even the most novice detailers! Now if you will excuse me, I am off to find a wall to hit so I can try this... 🤥 completely kidding of course. My heart goes out to the owner as they must’ve felt sick when it happened. Lucky they have access to your skills for this!

[@derekb370z]

Denatured alcohol breaks down latex paint too. Just a safer option compared to the goof off

Thanks Larry! I’ve been waiting for a video like this from you for a while. Now I can go at paint transfer properly! Great video!

[@twistedducati6895]

Nice job as always Larry! I'm sure the owner will be thrilled with the results, considering the damage they did.

[@thatchevydude1234]

My mom accidentally hit a brown pole when she was going to park. I just used WD-40. It worked like a charm 👌

[@wyattoneable]

Always a pleasure. I just received your interior cleaner and can't wait to find an excuse to use it.

[@randyealy310]

I used Goof Off on a customers vehicle Audi Q7 for some road tar on the bottom rocker areas. Super strong chemical smell but worked out great! I used some micro fiber towels instead of terry towels because I wasn't planning on polishing the paint. I threw them away afterwards because they turned black. Great information as always Larry, thank you!

[@travisio]

Do you have any concerns about removing the UV coating on the light when you were compounding it? Will it start to turn yellow faster?

[@CanadianGearhead]

Simple, yet effective. Nice vid Larry!

[@robertgoldsworthy5481]

I absolutely love these videos!! I really appreciate the fact that Larry is very detail oriented and passionate about auto detailing 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ShakaLakaMTB]

I love how you include footage from the video in the intro every time. :)

Thnks Larry for this informative video (y)

[@ChrisLeMans]

I just can't understand why some idiots put a thumb down! This video is perfect !

[@sizzlacalunji]

Thanks man. My car was hit/brushed by a coward who fled the scene after seeing the damage on my vehicle. However I have his info from the dashcam. Only damage was the paint transfer which came off the PPF while washing. Will try goo gone for the black trim once I get my hands on it.

[@JTC-go3kg]

What do you recommend to bring black trim.. plastics like door handles back to a shine as new look

[@singhhundal1]

I see that you polished after the compounding you put on the "Ammo skin" - what exactly it does - is it like a clear coat and how long it will stay? Also, do you recommend applying a clear coat in such case to protect the underneath paint which would have been removed with goof off?

[@nathanrisdal2960]

7:10 nice looking 914/4

[@vincentong6032]

Larry, for some reason, your shirt reminds me of the Portland Trailblazers' logo - or at least the color combination. :D Great video as always though!

[@phyzixguru]

Great video. I had to do this to my wife’s hellcat. Worked perfectly. Thanks again!

[@OuzoLouGarage]

Nicely done

[@nicksdragon6929]

Larry, thank you so much. My question is how do you make a DA jiggle vs spin? Do you apply more pressure to slow down the oscillations, on a slow 2-3 speed, or is it the movement of back and forth with the DA? Also if it is pressure, would I increase the down pressure to the 10-15 pounds compared to my typical 5-10 #s on paint? Again, terrific show.

[@rrvaughn820]

It's determined by the pressure, yep! You'll find that light pressure will allow for the most spinning/rotation, and harder pressure will stop it from spinning but the oscillating will continue.

[@unclesnotknuckle1]

Hey Larry, any idea when Reflex will be back in stock?

[@AMMO-NYC]

Working hard on it. Need it perfect before 2.0 is released :)

[@HEMi1995]

Not trying to answer for Larry but I read on Facebook today that November is the target.

[@tonyneises5195]

Very good nice job, I always appriceiat the time you put into your vids

[@Zeberka767]

Once we use the goo off, do we then have to apply compound or can we leave it as is? Btw, doesn't the compound remove the clear coat?

[@kennyrmrz]

I love your videos!!! Larry - will this also work as a paint leveler? I am planning to fill in a chip with puddy and use this to remove the excess puddy?

[@chrisdyson5513]

Thanks, interesting video. Would like to have seen more of that nice looking 914 that drove by towards the end. Shame they were never exported to the UK in RHD. We only get the LHD version or conversions here.

I just tried and it does work! THANK YOU!

[@pezzonovante888]

Magic Eraser and polish works well, too.

[@kareen9712]

pezzonovante888 what kind of polish?

[@agustinespinoza54]

If you can remove the damage by dusting it off with your hand. Would you still recommend compounding nd polishing ? The white dust(cry minor scuff) would be the clear cot that rubbed off ?

[@adnanrahman2367]

What exactly is the Goof-off product (technical name). It is not available here in the UK so need to find an alternative. Thanks

[@yanbelanger685]

Are you going to do a video about your porsche soon? I’m really curious about it. Btw really good video

[@jonathandestine4206]

This method definitely works! Discovered a paint transfer and scratches after being parked up and was so pissed! It looked really bad but after viewing the vid and following all steps it fcking worked! Thanks a mil.

[@DanielChaves1984]

Is this the same steps for if someone rubbed my bumper with their fender and tire and left paint transfer and rubber on my bumper? Should I use goo gone for the rubber? Or clay bar the bumper before using goof off? Thanks!

[@easley421]

Try everything before thegoof off. It's the only product that's gonna pull paint off the car

thx for great video. i bought a 01 Corolla which is painted with cheap Walmart $1.00 spray paint. i would like to remove wuthout damaging factory paint. any suggestions? thx

[@MagnusNilsson76]

I'd use paint thinner, as the original paint is most likely clear coated.

[@gorrilavape4000]

thanks for the video ! worked like a charm and saved me a quick buck !

[@shaunZ96]

how would you deal with slight scratch that you can catch with nails? will compound rubbing smooth it out?

[@axelbart7470]

Larry I don't know how picky I am being I love your videos but when you put the rag up to the can like you do you are transferring contaminants back into the can this was something that was taught to me in body shop class so you should use a separate cup to pour your cleaning solvent in therefore not contaminating the contents in the can thank you so much God-bless

[@AMMO-NYC]

good point

[@elogan4820]

I'm sick, just did this pulling into my garage. I'm going to try this! I'll post before and after

[@SirNoobs]

You should have posted this past weekend. Somehow latex paint got splattered on the side of my car while driving in the city. I removed it using a portable foam gun to lube up the surface and then using a silicone pastry dough scraper to peel the latex paint off. Definitely made sure to go only in one direction when using the tool.

[@george13815]

Thanks Larry

Uncle has same exact car and color love macadamia brown

Would this work on paint protection films/clear bras?

[@rrvaughn820]

Thanks for the explanation! How much would you charge for something like this? It's cool to see the work, and to know how to accomplish it...but a bit harder to determine how to factor it into a pricing layout for a customer. Thanks!

Latex paint on cars is (hopefully) retty rare. When I started watching a video titled how to remove paint transfer and scuffs that showed a picture of a car, clearly I was expecting to learn how to remove someone elses car paint or maybe even a buildings exterior paint from a car

[@patrickspaceman305]

I had a decent sized paint transfer scrap on a rear wheel arch...easily been there for a year. Grabbed some Goof-Off and it was gone in not even a minute. It was like cleaning a coffee mug ring on the sink with a sponge...wipe and gone.
