Removing paint from car

[Polymathic]

So just now was driving down a dirt road, to my left was a steep drop , so I think the blind bend admittedly a bit wide (I have a fear of heights) as i exit I see this red car speeding towards my car, so I imedialtly try to cut my speed down but this dude tries to gap his way through without breaking until the very last second. Now my car has this huge line of red paint on the side luckily no dents. What's the best way to remove that paint?

That's what you call a close shave. I'd be more concerned about removing the brown stripe on my skiddies.

Rubbing polish... or 2000grit paper with sunlight liquid water... and after that follow up with a normal polish.

small circular motion btw

Use the rubbing compound before the 2000 water-paper - the paper works beautifully, but can be disastrous in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they're doing.

If you don't have rubbing compound ( very few people do) then just get some Brasso from the kitchen cupboard and work at it gently, and it should come off. Whatever method you use, you must wax it with a good polish afterwards.
