Hello i dont know if you will be able to see the scratch that good but its on my hood. I was wondering how i can fix it with out paying alot to repaint the whole hood for one scratch. Thanks

 

send it my way..

i'll paint it..

 

If its a very thin scratch doesnt wax usually get rid of it, or hide it

 

no

wax is like putting on lotion.. lol

it protects skin for certain amount of time and "fresh"

 

OP

see if your fingernail gets caught in there.

 

Oh lol nvm, i htink it was that it gets rid of paint from another object that hit your car, and i know that has to be a fact cause ive done it. One time a gate like sideswiped my moms car and it left some of its black paint on her car, i just wiped that thing off using wax, although it takes a lot of rubbing with lots of pressure, but it works.

 

no.. you use polish..

 

Wait maybe i did use that lol ur just owning me in everything right now

 

my finger nail does get stuck in it. anymore suggestions?

 

then the scratch is pretty deep..

 

its not real deep but its deep

 

It's "deep" in the sense that it is through your clearcoat and the base paint possibly down to the primer. Remember, with paint layers we're talking micro millimeters of thickness here. It doesn't take much. The only way to minimize that scratch would be to machine polish your hood.

 

wet sand or buff it out with a high speed buffer orrrr possibly both haha id use a rubbing compound

 

Fill it in with touch up paint before you do something like that.

Keep filling it in and adding layers until it's just barley above the surface of the rest of the paint. Use a toothpick as your paint applicator, not the pen or brush that comes with the touch up bottle.

Then polish it down with a buffer and polish/light compound.

If you wet sand, just be careful and use as fine a grit as you can. After that you'll still have to polish it, then some wax to protect it.

 

1500-2000 grit Wet sand. Polish. Polish. Polish. Wax. (Doesn't have to be with a buffer)
