Noticed last week what seems to be white paint stuck on my door? Someone possibly hit my door with theirs. What would be the suggested action to help get it less noticable. Tried giving it a good wash and using a clay bar. Seemed to bring it around some. Any advice is appreciated. It's on gm metallic paint.

Some I would consider trying are 3M's scuff and scratch kit available here, and usually many of the big box auto parts stores.

Comes with a 3000 Grit Trizact Pad, and some compound polish as well in a packet.
Follow the instructions, it's pretty much foolproof. There's also youtube vids on this product to demonstrate how it is used

Others could be a compound-polish you have on hand, another could be Meguiars Scratch-X. Neither are that expensive.

Oh, I forgot to mention, welcome to the forum! ;-)
 
Alright! I do have a da polisher and some griots correcting cream along with some more aggresive pads. Maybe I will give it a shot with that first and then maybe try out one of your other suggestions if I cant get it looking better. Thank you!

same issue just yesterday. Used a white pad and a swirl remover, then had to go to an orange pad and swirl remover and that took care of it. Then hit it with a white pad and polish to finish it off. Did it all by hand. I used the least aggressive pad and product to start then just went far enough to get it off.

Griots correcting cream with yellow lake country pad. After a few passes then wiped down with wolfgang paint prep. Not aiming for perfect but it looks good to me.

Yeah I likely should have used a less aggressive method to start out.
