Hey all. Just wanna seek your professional advice on how to remove the scratches below. I tried using Soft99's Luster and didn't seem to work. Am I suppose to use polisher instead ? Am I suppose to touch up the paint as well (like using Ezytouch up). Thanks in advance !

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Apr 19 2013, 09:29 AM) Anyway, can't really judge from the picture there. Can you possibly try to remove those paint/rubber (looks more like rubber) transfer with some kind of cleaner or solvent (petrol or diesel should work if it's rubber) and check for the damage again. After cleaning, see if you can catch the scratch/damage with your fingernail. If you can, then it's better to seek professional help (bodyshop) unless you have the tools and equipment (sand paper, rotary polisher, matching paint, etc.) to do it yourself. As for the rear quarter, did the Soft99 Luster has ZERO effect or only be able to 'remove' the scratch a little bit only? If it does, maybe more passes is needed.  QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Apr 19 2013, 11:29 AM) From what I can see, those scratches should be removable with the help of a Scratch Remover. Hey guys, i tried rubbing harder with Soft99 Luster and it didn't work. It didn't feel like rubber stains either. It as if the paint has been chipped off but it doesn't feel like it. Those areas are still smooth. Is it possible to just use touch-up paints to cover it ? . I believe that the scratch in the picture on the right can be removed almost completely or completely with a scratch remover as I have done that several times before to similar rubber like scratches. For the scratch in the picture on the left, you can use a scratch remover as well but it might just remove the stain and leave a small groove of the length of the scratch there. |

Hey guys, does it sound like a silly effort to use a non-carnauba wax (like Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell Paste Wax) and then use a synthetic sealant over it ?

QUOTE(lonewolf @ Apr 29 2013, 02:04 PM) if not wrong "Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell Paste Wax" is carbauna wax......if you want to layer, do sealant first, the carbauna(no cleaner) on top QUOTE(acefreakz @ Apr 29 2013, 02:24 PM) yeah, i read online ppl usually sealant 1st, only then wax. QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Apr 29 2013, 03:32 PM) yes, silly because you do sealant THEN wax. carnauba or not doesn't matter. All right. Thanx for the feedback  |
