What is the quickest way to get rid of a scrape?

If you accidentally scrape your car against a post, what's the best way to get the paint off?

• pretty sure there isn't a dent, but I have yellow paint on a white car!

• Answer:

  Bummer for sure. Car polish come with and without grit - a very, very tiny grit. They act as surface scrubbers. Without much wax, they are called "rubbing compounds." With both, you apply a coating, thick as mayonnaise on a sandwich over the affected area. Rub the goo in circular motions with a towel, t-shirt material until the substance dries, almost. Turn cloth to a clean spot and shine. Repeat as necessary. A buffer might speed up the unwanted paint removal. Sometines, I use # 1000 wet/dry sand paper and soapy water to do the job. Polish afterwards. Pistons, bearings valves, and gears can also be "polished" chemically to end problems they have. This is a form of anti-wear, which should also be desirable to a car owner.
