WOW....
looks like multiple attacks by multiple creatures there!!! Nice save. Ultimate Compound?
ikr? the scratch on TOP of the door handle was just mind boggling. it doesn't matches the "pattern".
my only conclusion is my car being unfortunate meeting REALLY drunk assholes.
Anyways i used ultimate polish, with few more passes since i don't want to risk marring on the unaffected area (again, as i didn't wash down the car/have clean surface to work with)
i used tissue paper mainly for cleaning the affected area with megs final inspection then after polishing also IPA'd it so needed tissue to dry it as the borders of the affected area were beading up (as the protection is still there) and the IPA will leave residue if it happens to flash in a bead lol
and sonax disposable polishing cloth ( still on my 2nd piece after bought so long as i cut it into really small pieces
) as well since i don't feel like washing 3-4 cloths (UP/PB BH/ULW/BSD) just for OCD'd spot corrections.
i noticed that the polishing cloth are more abrasive (or they carry/hold the product better?) than regular MF cloths which reflected when i applied BSD, had to use a tissue paper to buff off BSD which i usually didn't need to for MF cloths.

Wow those are terrible! My heart would sank too. But then, took action at 2am.. you're really ocd haha. But i see that most scratchs are gone in the end. So what did you do? Compound with hand? Or machine?
Btw, your car looks somewhat... dirty in the picture, for a guy like you haha! You need to finish your stockpiled products yo! Last time i saw your just waxed and BSDed picture, super shine and clean!
purely by hand
and yes it's been many months since i've washed my car. i'm "OK" with it since the car beads/sheets water so aggressively every rain (and it washes away the previous dirt automatically every time LOL!) so it's a decent indication that the protection is still there.
heck, when i was ipa'ing the area, megs ULW was still protecting the underneath strongly and all my IPA did initially was "blurring"/"hazing" the wax up. and having beading IPA wasn't a pleasant experience to deal with as:
1) i cannot clean at all
2) i actually have to clean more to get rid of the compromised wax
but yea, after a rain, the shine/cleanliness automatically returns until the left over beads (that couldn't sheet off) will dry and flash into a mild watermark
