Need Help Need Paint Repair Product ASAP

BBKG79 · 06-26-2007, 08:27 AM

Okay guys/gals I have some blemishes in my paint that I'm not sure how to get rid of. I just recently tried Turtle Wax Ice Claybar and Polish Paste. My car overall looks good, BUT these few blemishes weren't removed. None of them are deep. I've read about Zaino and a few other products on here, but I don't know what to go with. I'm really new to detailing, can anyone recommend any products that can help get rid of these the next time i detail my car?

This pic above, is some kind of film. Almost like residue from a sticker. I have know idea what this is from.

Thes are some scracthes on my passenger side door, probably from road debri!

These grooves I made myself, like a ****head during the winter with the ice scrapper trying to break the ice up. Was little agrravated, so I became careless

Thanks BBKG79!

throw that garbage out asap. if you'd like to begin doing your own detailing, hit up autogeek.net and order one of the porter cable combos. The only way you'll get out swirling or minor imperfections like that is through a maching/polish/swirl remover combo. for the unknown residue, you can either use goo gone, or go to your local autozone or pepboys and get a clay magic claybar kit. Read the instructions and try to clarbay it out. If it comes out, apply some wax over it immediately to protect it. for the deeper scratches, you will need a machine.

rubbing compound will do wonders. Just make sure to hit it with some wax when you are done to get the luster back

i personally am a big fan of the poorboys stuff... try some SSR2-2.5 and that stuff should come out, move up to 3 if necessary

Thnaks Chaos, I open to everything. I'll try that as well.

For the clear coat blemishes, they need to be buffed out. You can prob use a medium cut to get them out. If you've never used compound or a buffer I would suggest getting it done professionally. You can permanently ruin your paint if you do it wrong.

As for the second pic with the scratches, those aren't going to come out. The paint is chipped down to the primer. You can get some touch up paint and fill them and it will look a little better.

agreed, professionals are the best way to go if you dont know what you are doing... where are you located? if you are close to me i may be able to help you, if not check out autopia.org for some local guys

BBKG79 · 06-29-2007, 03:55 AM

No I have no experience with a buffer, I might just go the professional route if it proves to be out of my league.

Chaos I'm in Connecticut, we're not close at all, oh sugar
