Some kid ran their bike into the side of the car for this one. Left a dent too Sorry for the bad focus, cameras tend to freak out after you get a car adamized. Yes i know the car is dirty! Hard to get a good shot of this one. I was thinking about applying brilliant glaze 50 times to get rid of this one. True test of its "filling properties" All of these are pretty shallow,(well except the last one) but definitely detract from the car. The plan is to remove them when i do my next big detail on it next month.

Have you tried removing a scratch using a drill and the focus pads? If you have which way do you think is better?

No one is sanding anything yet!

I will get some pictures up tomorrow when the sun comes out. I just have a bunch of different scratches from DD use that I would like to remove, or at least improve. Some of them snag on my fingernail when I pass over them, so those I will just have to leave alone. But other more minor scratches do not, so I know I can improve on them. I have been doing tons of research and it seems like many people are successful with wet sanding, and it seems like the drill is also very effective too. I have also seen tons of screw ups with both. So which way is technically safer? To me it seems like i could be much more accurate with sand paper, be more in control, and affect a smaller area.

Hey guys quick question for all of you. I am trying to remove some fine scratches on my vehicle and I was wondering what is the best way to do it. Is it safer to use a pad on a drill, or just get out some super fine sand paper? Figured the PC isn't enough to get the job done, so I need a little extra OOMPH. The car has a quality aftermarket paint job so I know that i have a tiny bit of wiggle room. Just looking for some opinions!
