mc2hill Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 There have been a few questions about removing scratches around the door handles. I was working on my neighbors White Pearl Hyundai Sonata to remove some overspray, and noticed the dreaded fingernail marks under the door handles: I spent a few minutes on each handle with some Adam's Detailing Clay Bar - Best Detail Clay and the results were amazing!

0 egott_91 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 So they weren't finger nail scratches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 So they weren't finger nail scratches? I believe they were, but they seemed react differently on this paint, almost like paint transfer (which this car has ALOT of!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArmyAcadia09 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 nail polish? i've done the same on the wife's car and clay helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JBlack151 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Nice job. I've had great success with the clay bar for this as well. However yesterday I was working on a white GL450 and clay only did half the job to remove the scratches. I used Revive on the remaining marks to get the results I needed. Not sure why it works well on some and not on others. Maybe it was the fact I was dealing with a tough clear on the Mercedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 JBlack151 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 My bad. I guess I meant the paint transfer that appears to look like scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MichiganSRT8 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 nail polish? i've done the same on the wife's car and clay helps. ^^^ Im thinking that too, ive had the same situation, they didnt look like scratches to me I've used clay before and took them away like they were only polish transfer. Followed but revive and they looked amazing after. good clean up man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Similar to the results I've seen with Revive in the same areas. My theory is that the scratches (if any) remain, but by removing the dirt from them they become almost unnoticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scociny Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I had similar results. Adam's clay seems to rewind the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
