Question Magic Eraser????

Is it effective and safe for slight pant transfer removal from door dings? Also have a few dried tree sap spots as well.

Thanks!

Go down to your local auto parts store and buy the meg's clay kit and some bug/tar remover. Clay+lube will get rid of the paint safely, and pick up any leftover sap after treating those spots first with bug/tar remover (clean per instructions on the bottle, then give it another little wipedown before claying).

be careful with that clay. You can rub the finish right off if you rub too hard or too much.

Make sure it is very, very wet.

It damages the leather. The leather will look clean, but at the expense of taking off the top leather coating.

It is awesome on walls and furniture but don't know about car paint. I would not use it on a car, that is what clay bar is for.

+1, "that is what the clay bar is for".

You have product available on the market that was designed to do exactly what you need it to do safely and effectively. Why take the risk with something else?

If you use one on your house walls you will find it is an abrasive. I would not use it on car paint or any leather.

now they actually make a Magic Eraser for cars, but it's only tailored to wheels. its going to be mildly abrasive (since that's is magical secret on how it works) and it will crumble in your hand. but it really does a number on your wheels (if they're not painted of course)...it even removes brake pits and stains pretty well. as for the one for the home, i have no idea. i know i used it so get roof tar off my bamboo flooring and it didn't scratch or discolor it. but i wouldnt suggest you taking the eraser to a car's painted surface. have you tried FX1 wax/cleaner? i used it on my 325ci when i oversteered it into the garage (lol) and it removed ALL of the paint smears on the car. the key is to act fast and let it sit for a while before polishing it.
