0 RSCamaro Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Passenger door Been taking many new ladies out, which is bad for the ride. I don't want to scare them off by lecturing them on how to properly open/close a door Also, never fails, they ALWAYS run their hand along a fender but alas I shall let that slide as well until I find one I can show the ways!

Oh crap well then that's just battle scars man. Show them off with some pride! On topic.. I have no idea how to fix them aside from using a hand applicator.

0 RSCamaro Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Just cram it back up underneath there and wiggle around like a mad man? Which color applicator? This job probably will need severe swirl and haze I would say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 egott_91 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I had success with revive also on my brothers CTS-V that he had. It was black and I would say it took away about 80-85% of the scratches. Probably could've gotten more out if I was a little more patient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Chuckkilo3 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 How about you opening the door for the ladies. After you get them out, that would be a good option. Aside from that, you could put some clear film there to take the abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LFairbanks Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Another wash was done post claying, then dried just as the sun started to break thru. Before doing the full correction we decided to address some of the biggest eye sores first... including the scratched and scuffed door handle area: Anthony has become somewhat of an expert at polishing these areas with a blue hex grip and Revive... with staggering results: BEFORE: AFTER: Found here...http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/detailers-write-ups/16071.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
