Car Wash= Scratched Hood

[DaveBlank]

I guess my wife scratched her car with the wash mitt when she washed it...pretty bad. There was a thread on "that other site" I believe it was by hatrickstu. He found some product that seemed to work well but I cant find that thread again. I believe the title was, "for those who care" or "to whoever it matters" or something alon these lines. Did anybody else see that thread or know what product he used?

i would use some scratch x from maguayers(sp*) but you should be able to buff off small scratches..

megs cleaner wax works the best for me.As long as the scratches are in the clear and not down to the paint cleaner wax will work

I believe the stuff i am looking for is meguiars 105

i'm going to try that meg's stuff.... i removed my rear bowtie and theres a few scruffs in the clear coat :[

i use sticker shoker to remove my emblems and trimming worked damn well, especially when i went back w/some unleaded to clean up the left overs

 

[toopointfow]

i use 3m scratch remover. then cleaner wax after.

use a rubbing compound and buff them out but be carefull not to burn through the paint.

idk how to buff... and i think the reason it got scruffed is cuz there was alot of dust behind the emblem, i think it just acted like sandpaper :/

yeah if you dont know how to then dont try it at all. its not for beginners. i work at a auto paiting place as a detailer and i can say i still **** up paint but atleast there it can be fixed.. buffing blending and wetsanding is a bitch. but its my job

biggest thing when buffing is you have to keep the buffer moving. The pads and compound make a difference too.

Meguires ultimate compound and a buffer

When I removed my emblems and side trim, I used Turtle Wax buffing compound worked quite well.
