I sanded a scratch using tutle wax repair kit's super fine 3000-4000 grit pads...
Now it's all dull and scratchy, what do I do next? re-clearcoat? polish? Update: bought maguier Polish and worked good, then sealed off using plain wash and wax https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resi...nt=photo%2cJPG https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resi...nt=photo%2cJPG https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=...Oo2na4v8KDFKmU |
You bring the color back by buffing that area with compound. Be careful not to burn the edges. If you don't know what I'm talking about you should maybe have someone with experience help you out.

You can use a 3M scratch removal kit it comes with rubbing compound and a small buffer pad you can attach to a hand drill to buff the area. Just watch the edges of the bumper. No need to re-clear

You have to buff it out and wax it after. Use an orbital machine or if you're nervous do it by hand. Don't rub too hard and take your time! Should be good as new.

For something that small, some swirl-x on a cloth will shine it up in a few seconds.
I just did something similar to a dime sized patch, wet-sanding + swirl-x and an old microfiber had it glossy and blended back in perfectly in about 15 seconds of rubbing. What grit did you use? 2000 wet is very easy to get the paint back to where it should be. |
