Rub marks on paint after !molding.
I took off the molding on the Z the other day. I just did the rear 1/4th molding piece first to make sure it was Ok underneath and it was. Then i took the door piece off and it has some pretty nasty rub marks where the bottom of the trim was. I tryed to rub them out with some QD and a microfiber, but it didnt do anything.
Im just wondering what i should do to get these out and get it looking good. It is pretty noticable on red. Will they buff out or will i have to wetsand it? Or is there any other way i could get rid of them?
Here are a few pics:

actually looks like the 3m tape residue with dust, but if u rub over it and u can feel paint missing, new paint! but if it is bumpy, try to buff , its that doesn't work, wet sand

What he said ^ 3M rubbing compound or Meguiars body scrub....the scrub works wonders! When I detailed a car for someone she had a serious black rub mark on her passenger side mirror where she'd tapped the doorway of her garage I believe. I rubbed it with the meguiars for about 5 minutes and it took it right off!

Me too
I work at the local chevy dealership. I have the same marks on my car after removing my moldings and I asked a friend who does body work at my work if he could buff or wet sand the marks out. He said ..." only if I'm not held responsible". He said once the clear coat started getting sanded it would most likely peal all the way down the door. He said my most likely option was to repaint the doors. Sorry dude. But try buffing and other things and please let me know if any thing works. My car is pewter and the markers are major eye soars. Thanks for the help...repost any good results.
