Hi I scraped some kind of pillar last night with my car and apart from broken rear light theres yellow paint on some of the door and rim.

Any quick way to get some of the paint off before I show my dad?

BTW my car is light green
 
Since the area is damaged I suppose you could use a coarse polish to remove the yellow paint. T-Cut or something of the sort should do the job.
 
dunno was spose to go somewhere in a bit, got some car wax. shall i try it?

and nokinidea ill upload the pictures in a while..
 
Wax is no good. It will actually seal the yellow paint making it harder to get off. You need a polish with an agressive cut.
 
Jif will work (seriously) but I'd not recommend doing it often as it's quite coarse and not really the tool for the job.
 
This 'some kind of pillar' that somehow left yellow paint wouldn't happen to be a yellow car would it?

I can think of no other reason why you would want to remove said paint before your dad sees it...

Hit and run tbh...

That or he just wants to pass it off as not his fault ;)
 
Just tell your dad, these things happen I’m sure he will understand. Unless you were doing something you shouldn’t have been!
 
bloody hell, the guy comes in saying he's had a brush with a pillar and ends up getting accused of hit and run? :D

You got too much time on your hands mate, stop trying to be a detective your not very good at it.

The reason is that my dad paid for my car and id rather that he didnt get really angry, and if that means t cutting it a bit so it dont look too bad then so be it.
 
Anyway I showed it to my dad before I done the t cut. He was a bit angry but its orite now.

I T cutted it myself and ive got the yellow paint off the door, rim and wing. I'll upload them pics tomorrow. Funny thing was I went to a auto repairs shop and the guy said t-cut wouldnt get it off, another man said the same thing.

I showed my dad and he said T-cut would work fine. And it worked bang on for the door, rim, basically the metal parts.

Anyway heres the pics pre t cutting:
