Title: Paint removal from car
Post by: Tre on January 12, 2010, 02:08:36 PM

Got some paint blemishes on the car from brushing up against a wall.

Is turtle wax the solution here? Or should I go for ScratchX?

San Diego is fucking, but the rental car needs a touch-up.

If the damage is not through the clear coat then you can wet sand (2000 grit) and buff (becareful not to go through the clear coat, you may want to have a have body shop do this).  If the damage is through the clear coat then take it to a body shop and have them paint it.  The only way the stuff your talking about works is if the damage is very very minor.

get some

(http://archive.meguiarsonline.com/forums/photopost/data/1383/G18010_RubCompound_sm.jpg)

its like small sand mixed into wax, that will remove the paint you got on the car

then you use a polish to finish it off

dont use a machine with the rubbing compound, do it by hand

Translation: I sideswiped some poor Mormon's car and now I'm going to buff out the scratches before he gets back home.   ;D

Did you just get paint transfer, are did you go though your clear, color, and primer?
for paint transfer all fucked up clear i would wet sand.
Though color and/or primer, you're going to need to do more work.

lol @ Show

It was just transfer from the walls of a tight parking space. Took some rubbing, but that stuff from Target did the trick. Thx, guys.
