    This is actually a RAV4 but I'm wondering how to remove the yellow paint from the parking lot post.

    Clay bar took off about half the yellow paint. The rest I'm afraid to buff because it's plastic with a texture to it. Any ideas?

    A good polish will take that off.

    Did the same thing except blue paint from a Lowes cart return. Used polish and random orbital buffer and it came right out. If the bumper is painted, it's smooth not textured
