I am pretty sure you have to pay auto guide to be a sponsor. I think it's pretty funny that your pics are copyrighted with Richard Lin....

Whenever we hit objects with our cars, there are two issues at hand to contend with. First thing to do is determine how much damage is really there and how much is transfer. Transfer is the material of the object you have hit that rubbed off onto the paint. If you hit a white wall, you can expect to find white paint on your car. Once that transfer is removed which can be done with clay, mild solvents, or even some polishing, the next step is to determine just how much the impact affected the clear coat.Nice work. Thanks for posting the pictures. Kind of makes me want to detail my Karma.
As long as we have a detailing expert on the forum, I would like to ask a question. About a week ago, when I as backing my car into a tight parking spot, a wayward column jumped out from behind another column and caused me to make contact with it. Fortunately I was creeping at extremely slow speed at the time and there was no damage. But I did pick up some paint from the column, which ran off by the way. What I would like to do is safely, and without damaging the paint underneath, remove the paint I picked up from the hit-and-run column.
What's the safest way to do that? I tried using a wet paper towel, and it helped, but I am concerned about leaving scrape marks on the car's paint. Here is a picture so that you can see what I am talking about. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have any of you tried opticoat? If so, what are your thoughts.
Thanks
I'm looking into paint film protection, such as xpel ultimate (discussed in another thread). What are your thoughts on doing an opticoat process first: is this a wasted effort (since it's going to be covered up with film) or is it essential in facilitating removal of the film years from now (just spoke to someone experienced in 3m films who said they could be a nightmare to remove, making removal more expensive than application).
