That may be to deep looking at the picture, but you could try AG paint renovator which is what I use, does the job!! Then polish & wax , see what Dan has to say i'm sure he will give you some direction soon Steve :cool:

If it rubber on paint, trim marks on paint etc, sometimes a tar remover will take it right off. Or if you have AS Tardis, that should sort it out.

some of that looks like it will polish out but AG paint renovator will not cut the mustard im afraid, try it by all means but ive done many scuffs exactly like this and you need something with a bit more bite.

kevs advice is also a good suggestion, it may remove some of it and leave the bits that need polishing more visible.
