Mom’s scuffed a wall. Paint not scuffed just transfer.

Rupes HLR75, Boss Correcting cream and an old LC Flat green pad took care of of paint.

I feel it’s transfer on the trim as well as I don’t feel any scuffs (matbe one).

I’ve tried APC (BH Surfex), BlackFire wax remover.

Neither put a dent in it

Any recommendations?

Maybe someone else is going to have a better idea, but if that's house paint, perhaps some mineral spirits? Probably want to try it on a small area first to make sure it doesn't do anything to the plastic.

Also, I haven't used that Boss Correcting Cream, and I don't know if it stains trim, but perhaps trying that by hand, again an the least conspicuous area (near the bottom) to see if it will remove the transfer, not stain, not effect the trim appearance (or if you have a less aggressive Griot's polish).

I keep some old solventy Meguiar's paint cleaner around for this kind of thing, but you can't use that on trim.
 
I have been waiting to see what others have to say because matte trim like that seems to be one of the hardest things to deal with

I have never had to clean off a transfer like that but have tried multiple methods to mitigate scuffs, scratches, etc and never had much success

The little blue car has a couple of marks on the fender flares that I would love to get rid of

They look ok for a while after I apply an LSP but tend to be more conspicuous after a while
 
Might want to try a polish or cleaner wax that doesn't stain trim. If I remember correctly 3D Speed is one of those products. If that doesn't work then maybe solution finish?
