Removing a Scratch any ideas?Beastiek2 03-16-2004, 03:09 PM So yea all i do it run into problems :banghead: ..This guy in a tiny little mitsu decided to open his door and scrath the side of my drivers door--first scratch i have on the new car---any suggestions on good products you have tried to remove this scratch, its a nice size--Thanks GScivic7 03-16-2004, 05:31 PM is it a deep one or is it just kinda like a surface scratch that you can buff out? If you can buff it out I suggest using a clay bar and a good wax compound (ie carnauba), should take care of it pretty well. If it's deep, I think duplicolor makes this new touch up paint with like a ball point tip, supposed to work pretty good. Beastiek2 03-16-2004, 05:38 PM alright i will check out those brands now the scratch is 4 lines about 3 inches long only the end of each scratch is down to the metal the rest of the scratches are white on the silver paint..just stripped--- thanks!! defmusik 03-17-2004, 01:19 AM yeah i've seen commercials for that duplicolor stuff on spike tv. it looks pretty good filipnoy85 03-17-2004, 03:28 AM Scratch X - Meguiars It should take care of the white parts, not sure about the bare metal (prolly not). It worked wonders for my car (stupid narrow mall parking spots)! xproductionz 03-17-2004, 01:10 PM yea it works wonders on my car too.. stupid wind blowing those dang carts into my car.. haha.. but after a couple of car washes it comes back out again.. but no biggie.. as long as you keep waxing every once in a while u should be fine filipnoy85 03-17-2004, 02:28 PM That stuff comes out? Dang, i didn't know that. How's that stuff work anyway? defmusik 03-17-2004, 03:04 PM damn productionz, you must have some money, that looks like a nice ass house in like cali or something...damn i wish i had money. my household income combined with mine (7,500) is less than $30,000.. filipnoy85 03-17-2004, 03:08 PM i didn't notice that before.
