If the depth of the scratches are just in the clearcoat, then they can be easily removed with a buffer and compound. However if you can feel the scratches with your fingernail, then likely they're too deep and you'd only be able to minimize their appearance.
Next tools and recommended products: Be choosy which tools you use, don't go using a $20 autozone buffer on your nice car, just don't its a crappy idea. The tools I recommend (and are bread and butter staples of auto detailing and scratch removal) are:
Porter cable PC7424 Dual Action polisher - http://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Ca...Q&gclsrc=aw.ds
Meguiar's 5" velcro backing plate, Meguiar's DMC5 microfiber cutting pads (buy a 12 pack of these to save money), and Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Follow online guides and youtube videos provided by meguiar's / autogeek / autopia etc for using this. |
JESUS, $120 for a polisher!?
I think ill use this for a last resort if all fails. Thanks for the recommendation, ill check it out!
