Light Scratches How to Remove/Deal With?

Postby anghel132 » Fri Mar 01, 2013 1:51 pm

Car is barely a week old :(. Saw a tiny nick on the side, about an inch long so small you can't see it - one of those things you think is just dried on water streak until you rub it and it won't come off..

Somewhat Irrelevant but its only a WEEK OLD...

How could I fix that? :'((

Get some decent car wash firstly. something like Meguires ULTIMATE WASH N WAX or Bowdens Own car wash.
If that dont remove the water marks then its a full detail/polish
for the light scratch get some Mequires SCRATCH X 2.0

If all that fails or your not confident is doing it then call in the Pro's
Best ive seen so far is http://www.autoglamour.com.au/

Just bought the Black Box Turtle Wax - It has a pre wax conditioner, a detail spray and the actual wax.. It is just for Black Cars... But OMG amazing.... It is $50 for the box from Super Cheap... But well worth the spend...

thats a perfect excuse to fully detail your exterior.
i am going to assume you dont have a buffer so what you need to do is go get your self some decent polish. i used meguires polish because it is pretty good and smells like bubble gum. it is like 28 dollars at super cheap auto
