gs27 imho is not worth it. It did not do anything for me.

Sorry to hear 'bout the scratches. That GS27 is FOS...don't waste your money.
If you can feel the scratch with your fingernail, then chances are you will need to wet sand the area with 1500-2000 grit to remove the scratch, then use a glaze to remove the scratches the sandpaper left behind. Shouldn't be too difficult.
Good luck.

I didn't think it was....

GS 27 will work until it rains, then the scratches will be back. I used it once on my old prelude. Total waste of time and money.

That sux, one time the dealer was working on my car and i went in at nighht to see it. The car was outside and had a huge dent in the door. I didnt say anything. When the car was done, no dent. They had it for like 2 weeks because i had a tranny issue being fixed. The car looked like it did when i brought it in. and i know it was my car because i saw mods i have doen to it.

Hey Bigman, what kind of springs are you using to lower your car??

gs27 doesnt work.....the only time it kinda did a little improvement was on a white car, but if you any other color, it didnt do anything...just covers up a bit but you can still see scratch though.

GS 27 is definately FOS. I tried it on my civic and the scratch still shows...don't buy it

i think rubbing compound works better than that GS 27 stuff... it didn't work for me but the compound did... is the scratches missing paint or just surface scratch?? if its surface use rubbing compound... if not u gotta wet sand and fill it before u touch it up...

Be careful using sandpaper! I personally would only use the finest grit and glue a dot of sandpaper to the eraser end of a regular pencil for wet sanding. Careful with rubbing compound too. Both of these are abrasives that will make the scratch disappear by leveling your clearcoat surrounding the scratch. You don't want to remove too much clearcoat of course! With either one of these, you will have to apply polish or glaze to remove the scratches they make.

Polishing compound is milder than rubbing compound. I say you should fill the scratch with either touch-up paint or clearcoat touchup and gently and gradually level it off with polishing compound. Use rubbing compound only if polishing compound doesn't work.

GS27 has done nothing for me, a colorful tube of snake oil. Meguiar's Scratch X works only for extremely light scratches.

rubbing compound works pretty good compared to those other advertised "scratch removal" products that are supposed to work wonders.

i've never tried polishing compound...i think i'll give that a shot

GS27 does suck ! i hear about this stuff Langka.com
i dont know if i should try it or not
did anyone ever used it before ?

bebber

I have tried the Langka stuff. It claims that you can slather on globs of touch-up paint on your scratches and later on use Langka to remove the excess paint, ideally leaving just a perfectly smooth refinished surface.

In reality, Langka removes nearly all the touch-up paint. So if you're not careful, you're left with the original untouched scratch. Honestly, the stuff is OK, but I don't think it's worth the big price tag. Maybe you could get a better result with it than I have, but I dunno.

thanx for the help bebber...i think i might try the langka.com shiat...im really pissed off though...the guy at the shop admitted to scratching it but you know...they will fix it, but they are getting it done for free and I really dont trust them with my car anymore...the owner wants to borrow my car while im at work and let this guy at this body shop fix it for free...should i let him and let this a$$hole more than likely make it worse or buy langka??? thanks for your help...Shyne

GoldieAlek

Yeah i couldn’t get like definite answer if it works or if it doesn’t
but i know that you got let it dry out for like 1.2 hour to make sure and a lot of times people are inpatient (like my self) and 20 $ for that **** is kinda too much ! and there is one more trick , it is to wrap a cloth on some kind of card and then apply Langka on it . this is for someone who is gonna try it !

soul_fire88

gs27 did not work for me either

let him take your car under the explicit conditions that the vehicle is returned to you as given with the damage repaired. get it in writing, i'm sure you should be ok. especially if he knows you have a binding contract in writing. good luck, kman
