Fixed!! :)

Wanted to post a big thank you to you all for helping me to fix these scratches! I got very lucky and ended up being able to buff them out. I was unable to get the 3M compound recommended above so went with Meguiars Ultimate Compound. A friendly chap who saw me pondering over the electric polishers at Crappy Tire today (who happened to be a full time car detailer!! #luck!!) steered me away from them and to the Mastercraft Polishing Pad Kit which came with a drill bit attachment and 6 different pads.

I ended up getting a great result. I didn't want to go too long/deep as it was my first time doing this so yes I can still see very, very small marks in the clear coat if I am less than a foot away but for a first time go and an attempt at avoiding a costly engine lid repaint I am thrilled!

Dirt may not slow you down Mr Walker but an afternoon wash and polish sure is satisfying!


Thanks so much to you all for all your helpful advice! I happy newbie over here with a bit more knowledge and experience thanks to you guys!

Beers on me!

Cheers
