Thanks.....The scratches were just a little on the deep side, but Adam's Polishing came thru. Took a little while.

Nice work!

Geebee's body shot is now in business! LOL 

 

So you're into body shots??  

 

I know what you mean. Just had to rag on you a little.  Nice recovery on those scratches!

Are you sure those were scratches? Not to take away from the nice work you did, but to show up that heavy in a picture and come out so nice seems almost unbelievable. I've seen fairly often where something off the road gets flung up off the tire in a line like that, whether it be tar or something else. That's what it looks like to me, especially at the very bottom in the first picture where it's in a very irregular pattern.

Looks great, huge improvement. Seems like your not afraid to do some experimenting and mix up some compounds.

...or maybe they are not the classic scratches that can be deep enough to catch a finger nail but rather a much shallower and wider abrasion caused by something blunt rather than something sharp. More like a "scrape". Or maybe transfer of material to the paint from something. Much like many minor parking lot contact. Sometimes what looks like badly in need of a re-paint can be clean up with a minor polishing.  

 

Regardless, nice save!

Joel,

 

I think the scratches were from road "chit" or a bush that scrapped the fender while pulling out of a driveway. Anyway, the scratches were just deep enough for me to think I might need a major fix. (fingernail test) After 2 passes with Adams Heavy Correcting Polish with the Micro Fiber Pad then the Foam Pad, they started to diminish. So I kept on going and got the final result you see in the pics. It took a while!

I have the same disease.  But definitely an old man thing. 70 years young.

I was thinking the same thing. Whatever it was, it turned out really nice.

[Fit08]

yes, you did a great job!
