Any product recommendations? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Someone touched the car during parking

Any product recommendation to get it fixed as much as possible ? I will try to buff it by hand as much as I can.

Thanks

Buying store bought products or online?

Hand buffing will limit results. Easy store buy is meguiars Ultimate compound, followed by ultimate polish.

You can spend more on pro grade stuff like Meg's M105 and M205.
I'd avoid cutting polishes as they typically need the power of a rotary/DA to break the polish abrasives down to give you a decent finish.

As Toyo said, hand buffing can only do so much. I'm sure you'll see decent results anyway. I'd even consider asking a shop that does detailing if they can hit it with a polisher quick.

For better results, you may want to wetsand it first (3k-1k grit) in order to flatten the edges of the scratches before doing any compounding & polishing. Good luck!
