It finally happened to me....burned through the clear coat for the first time ever.
So the girlfriend tells me yesterday that her dad hit her mirror on her '17 Ford Explorer. She shows me and there is some scuffs and a deep scratch right above and over the body line on the black painted portion of the mirror cover. So I get the Rupes mini out with a pad and start working it, I get the imperfection put but notice that a part of the body line on the mirror cap looks weird thought the compound. That's when I realized what happened. I polished it and the scuffs and scratch is gone but now I have the maybe 1/2-1" portion of the body line on the mirror cap that looks dull black.
Without getting it completely repainted, any way to touch it up with new clear? Could I just re-paint the whole mirror cap and then wetsand it?
