    I specifically like how the lines are all symmetrical.

    I say do the other side the same way.

    Scott take it to a good detail shop and they can probably rub those off.

    Those should buff out. If you have a buffer, I'd clay it first to try and remove most of the transferred paint, then buff it out with your cut/polish/wax combo of choice.

    x2 to this...or a good detail or body place would most likely be able to keep it form being noticeable...depends on how deep it is

    Rubbing compound is some harsh stuff. Its best not to go that aggressive unless needed, especially if you don't have a rotary buffer to get the compound haze off. Rubbing compound is typically used for removing orange peel and sanding marks from wet sanding.

    Damn Scott!!! That completely SUCKS! I hate to see that man.

    Agreed on the rubbing compound. If it's fresh, and your bumper IS NOT completely gouged, I'd use buy a new claybar, and go to town. THEN I'd buff it.

    Good luck Scoot!

    Are you going to boston to live or just to work -----maybe some acetone nail polish remover to remove it ---check with a body shop to see what they use for the type of paint on the truck
