Mr Clean Magic Eraser: So many uses....

[@jk_isf]

Darren good to know the super degreaser is ok to use like that along with the eraser, two of the most scariest items for me to ever use on the paint itself but I will be using on my girl's lexus to see if it produces the same results without worrying!

[@jayharvey6649]

Same results with your spray and just a cloth. Magic Eraser IS slightly abrasive so it will scratch paint. A kitchen sponge will accomplish the same result without potential scratching/damage.

[@muvs32pap]

You are speaking the truth to a great degree friend...although, I first used a generic magic eraser to remove or reclaim white areas of paper while painting with water color paints. It is able to lift the color without marring the papers surface, and that is with a 140lb. paper which is fairly light weight and fragile to scratches etc. It's all in how you use it. The magic eraser is so versatile because of the lack of elbow grease needed for it to do it's job. As I think about it a clean , good quality wool cleaning glove/rag is less abrasive than many poly/plastics found in kitchen sponges...my advice would be to try to use the foam side of a kitchen sponge as much as possible!

[@muvs32pap]

True, wool polishing is a "cutting", thus clear coat and paint reducing/removing material that is best reserved for paint jobs with enamel paint with thick clear coats, think classic cars. That's what the detail shop guys tell me at least. I will now try it on a pitted rust spot on my daily driver before I do a prime and cover on it, thanks to your info and experience with M.Eraser Shanon.

[@DkpProductions]

Equivalent to 2500 grit sandpaper.

[@WolfPackNJC]

Magic eraser is basically Melamine foam. It is a formaldehyde melamine sodium bisulfite copolymer. It's polymeric substance is very hard and abrasive. It works well for cleaning but it will damage your clear coat. Not much damage is noticeable at first, but the more you use it, the more coating it takes off. I used to use magic eraser for cleaning deep stains on my car but it eventually ended up damaging my paint.

[@autofetishdetail]

WolfPackNJC All valid points and points I have made repeatedly. You have to understand the limitations (or risks in this case) of any tool or product you are using. But when used appropriately, a very handy and useful tool.

[@libertarianation1]

WolfPackNJC lol You aren't suppose to keep using it on the same surface.

[@WolfPackNJC]

libertarianation1 I know.. I used to use it all over my car. I basically washed my car with magic eraser, but it's ok. I recently applied OptiCoat to my car so it's looking better than ever.

[@mndlessdrwer]

+WolfPackNJC you're also supposed to not just go at it without proper lubrication (this is true for so many things) or you will scratch your paint to hell.

[@SpongeoutletEraserSponges]

Sponges made from the identical material as the Magic Eraser are available online at spongeoutlet.com for as little as $0.29 per sponge and shipping is free! These are not cheap - potentially hazardous - Chinese knock-offs. They are the identical material and made right here in the United States!

[@callipitter8474]

Looks like a rag/brush would do as well as the Magic Eraser on the marks you're showing. .

[@muvs32pap]

Hey AFD I found the magic eraser through other means than use on car paints but it works oh so well. I have found for most cleaning jobs that a good, diluted dish detergent and water in a spray bottle works quite well. Also the same cleaning technique applies to stoves, refrigerators all the appliances that accumulate grease and nastiness over time. I find using a heavy duty degreaser isn't required for most cleanups and fear they might damage the modern water based clear coats...just my 2 cents.

[@muvs32pap]

Added note, in US at least on east coast yoiu can buy generic magic erasers from Dollar General for half the price of Mr. Clean version...and I have not noticed a difference in performance while cleaning things such as stove tops.

[@HalfAMind]

I used a mr clean eraser on my car and it left a noticeable area of the solution where I used it. I cleaned it off but the area kept appearing when it was dry.

[@toml.8210]

Does that eraser work on paint drops? I get some tiny drops every Spring when they repaint the road and highway lines. I have to carefully pick them off with a fingernail.

[@jacoriehouston]

So how would you remove scratches and them black marks that i heard you talking about in another vid on a 06 Mitsubishi Galant on my version its like a chrome trimming full of them then some marks and scratches on the back of seats also ...

[@autofetishdetail]

Nothing...I heard grease spots on bikes are the new rage!! Unless you meant geese spots ....of which I have no idea what to do in that case.

[@Hyooonie]

Actually, a magic eraser works great on a matte vinyl. I notice that when I clean with a rag I have to put in a lot of work and time to get the transfer marks off my car, and sometimes it doesn’t even get removed at all.. but with the magic eraser it removes it with ease!

[@dinky19810]

Love this product. Works well with white cars.

[@eduardob.d.3925]

Would a compound liquid( like a cut and polish) be safer on paint to remove scuff?

[@autofetishdetail]

Depends on what you mean by safer? If you have an aggressive enough compound/polish, it would remove it just as quick, or almost as quick, but then you would still officially have to follow with a less aggressive polish anyways. Just like polishes or compounds, you as the user have much control based on how you choose to use it....how much, the speed of the machine, type of pad, etc., etc. Same holds true for the Magic Eraser. Are you using it with some type of cleaner, by itself, how much pressure, how long are you rubbing, etc., etc. I just know they are super handy, very effective, but like everything else, they have their own inherent limitations and appropriate use is always necessary.

[@bobbyw9046]

WD-40 also works quite well and will not harm the paint. Works great as a tar & bug remover too - especially on wheels.

[@rayvortines]

On my black car, I used alcohol to remove pine cone tree saps and it worked. However, after I washed my car, the chemical left streak marks and I can't remove it just by ordinary wash. How do you remove these streaks on cars, after the car has been sitting under the hot sun?

[@MissionFreiheit]

Ray Ortines Compound, Polish and Wax it. If still visible after that, the alcohol has damaged your clear coat too much and you need to have the area repainted. Never (!) use harsh chemicals like strong acids or alcohol on paint or plastic!! Good luck to you.

[@sailorbob74133]

Why use degreaser with the magic eraser for removing paint transfer instead of something like optimum no rinse? Aren't allot of auto degreasers corrosive? I tried it, and it only took off a little of the transfer and left nasty looking smudges which I had to go over by hand with fine polish.

[@WTFisjuice1]

depends on the decreased you used, rim and tire will leave nasty smudges, an orange, or citrus decreases is meant for interior and exterior and a bit more gentle, and finally stay away from engine decreases on paint.

Hello Auto Fetish Detail, this morning I was backing out of my garage (1 car garage) and I hit the side of the garage entry with my car, and I got paint on my car. When I went to back out I brushed the side of my car so it is a nice paint scar, the lack of a better word. I own a Mr. clean Magic Eraser. Will this get the paint off of my car? I am very devastated about this situation and desperate to get my car back to normal. I just moved in my home 4 weeks ago and have been driving into the garage every night and this is the first time that this happen. My car is GREY the paint is CREAM. HELP!! Thank you!

Well yea it's going to fix it that's just a scuff mark and on white paint anything comes off really easy on white paint.

[@SaraiGarage]

This might sound like a stupid question but would this damage any paint other than white? I'm assuming yes...am I right?

[@ossinaveri3187]

White paint, black paint.. The clear coat on top of that is the same! It's just that you might not see the (possible) damage done so well on a white paint..

[@autofetishdetail]

Depends on your definition of damage. The Magic Eraser will eventually abrade the surface if used long or hard enough. You have to make the judgement call. See my link in description box.

[@michaelsaenz250]

the magic eraser is pretty abrasive, and yes the damage is masked by the white paint, any dark color car you would clearly see the damage done by this tool, it really shouldn't be used on paint, if in a dark room you pull that car in, and apply the proper detail lighting, you would see the scratches that would take extensive polishing to remove, for a quick fix this does work well, just pay the price with the damage afterwards :) just like all detailing you wanna use the least aggressive method first to be safe!

[@autofetishdetail]

It's only as abrasive as you make it. You have complete control based on how much pressure you apply and how many times you rub back and forth. And no, you clearly would not have seen any damage done to this car in this moment as I used extremely light pressure. And no, it would not require extensive polishing to do what little abrading is/can be done by the Magic Eraser. Like everything, appropriate application is always a good thing, and everything has its trade-off's. And in my opinion, this is the least aggressive method and cuts to the chase as the starting point in assessing the actual damage underneath and what plan of action is required next.

[@michaelsaenz250]

Auto Fetish Detail if you took a perfectly polished black car, and taped a 50/50 spot, then sprayed degreaser and rubbed one half with as much pressure as you did, took the tape off and put it in the sun, your telling me you would not see scratches? if so id like you to test it because i know I'm right this isn't one of the uses for a magic eraser, maybe on plastic stains, but not on paint, no way, this is the difference between some mobile detailing and concourse detailing
