Which brand will work best to remove small scratches on stock paint? It's Sunbeam Silver Metallic

 

I have tried 5 or 6 brands that claim scratch removal, none of them worked for me. I know that did not help much huh?

 

if they are really small, some hardcore polishing and detailing should take care of them

 

1) Rubbing Compound
2) Wax.

With Orbital Buffer (Not Spinner)

 

Does anybody know if that stuff GS-27 works?

 

GS-27 diddnt do anything for my wifes Saturn. I tried Meguires "scratch X", it worked better than gs-27, but stilll not as good as I wanted. Best Ive found is a large application of rubbing, buffing and Polishing compounds.

 

I found the best way to remove scratches is to fill them (with paint). Very light scratches can be blended with a compound, however, the larger one's where the compounds don't seem to work, require paint. Try filling the scratch with paint using a very fine brush. Let it dry and then remove the excess paint (that which rises above the cars finish) with a razor blade. Let it cure for a few days and then buff with a compound and finish with wax. This technique works but you have to be patiant - take your time. This method is not perfect but the finish will look better than it did prior to the work.

 

Actually, try putting the paint on the "scratch" with a toothpick. Just dip it into the paint, and slowly go over the scratch.

After it dries, (a couple of days later) do it again.

Then - Rubbing and polishing.

I did this with my friends "Keyed" Mustang, (angry wife)
and it came out damn near perfect.

 

Uhh NippleBandit45??
Saturns are plastic, which probably has something to do with why the GS-27 didn't work. I'm not saying it does work, but maybe the car had something to do with it in that case. Just my $.02.

 

I had some scratches in my Jeep and I used Turtle Was Color Cure. It was great, the scratches and even a chip just disapeared.

 

The first thing I'd try is 3M Swirl and Scratch Remover. There is one for light and one for dark colors, but the dark one (#39009) people see mto recommend for any paint. I used some on my black Seven yesterday and it helped, but that paint isn't in very good shape anyway. I also use it on my new car and it made a difference in the light marks. Almost gone now, but a little more rubbing. Sore arms today, though.

Oh, remember to get some fresh wax or polish when you're done.

 

I actually used some GS27 on a friends Integra that looked like ****. He had small scrapes and scratches all over the place. Low and behold the stuff actually did take alot of the surface scratches off. They just blended in and I really couldnt believe it. I think it may have something to do with what color car you have. His was red and it worked wonderfully.
