My wife ran up against the painted wooden edge of our garage door

our dark grey, which shows up quite a bit.

I used a lot of elbow grease, plus some soap& water, hoping that it
might just be water based paint that would come off somewhat easily. It
didn't work. Then I tried mineral spirits, hoping that might take it off.

Most of the paint is on a plastic or rubber "bump guard", but a small
amount of it is on the actual driver side door.

Anyone have any suggestions on other concoctions that I might try to
get it off?

Thanks!

Take it to a car detailing shop. Maybe a body shop. Most anything you
do will make it worse.

I checked Toyota's website...they have a bug and tar remover, allegedly
safe for clear coat on their cars. I'm going to check with my dealer on
Monday...might give me a freebie )
