I scraped my passenger side door along a stupid pole (i know.. im stupid). anyways it left minor scratches on there. Is there anyways you can kinda use some kinda chemical that removes those? I'm sure theres something that kinda spreads the surrounding paint when you wipe it and it goes over the scratches. Please help. thanks.

 

what color is your car?

GT88, that stuff advertised on late night tv, works pretty good on dark colored cars

i have 3M polish that my detailer recommended and it never fails on my silver paint. im amazed at the minor scratches that stuff has removed. i dont think its available through retail though

try a polish

i have silver too... whered you get your 3M polish stuff?

 

Look in the phonebook for 3M. Give them a call; they will help you find a dealer in your area that has their products. 3M Car Care is the best stuff on the market - will beat anything out there. Surely it ain't cheap but it sure is worth the money.

 

yeah, its not cheap at all

they deal in bulk. this bottle i have should last another 5 years easily

better than going to a body shop though!

 

care to give me the price? And also can you give me the phone number or website you got it from? thanks a lot.

 

people dont know how effective clear coat paint works over minor scratches...

 

it was over $40. look up 3M in a phone book, or find the website and look for a local dealer

 

Hey Mr. TL. is this the 3M polish youre talking about? Its called the 3M¢â Plastic Polish

How bad is your scratch?? You may be able to 1200-1500 fine sand that scratch out, then use Perfect-It II compound to remove the scratches. After doing this, the rest of your car will look like crap in comparison to the finished area so the next step would be to use Perfect-It Foam Polishing Pad Glaze on the rest of your car. Talk about a shine...this stuff kicks a$$!! Also, remember to lay a good coat of wax too! Good Luck!

 

cHocobo118 - When you track down what you're looking for, can you post the results here? I am also interested in getting some of this magical 'snake oil'.

 

finally found it...this is the stuff i have

Yep..that stuff works miracles! Make sure you use the foam pad exclusively. Any other type of pad will prove useless.

It seems that 3M has another product similar to the one MrTL's URL takes you to. You can find it by searching Alternate ID for the product number "05996". 3M indicates that 05995 is better suited for light colors while 05996 is better suited for dark colors.
