mc2hill Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Welcome Colin! Sometimes you can reduce the under the handle marks with clay, other times it requires polish. Colin J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirahnah3 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Welcome to the forums! Scratches are always hard, it really depends on how bad they are and how far in they are to reach to polish out if possible. Got some pics of them? might help us help better. Revive is a great start and you can get more aggressive as needed. Colin J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin J Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Thank you everyone for all the tips! Very much appreciated! I also wanted to share what I received from Dan at Adams. Very much in-line with what was suggested. Looking forward to spending my weekend in the garage!! ?? Colin Dan Thu, 05/17/18 8:23 am Good morning Colin, Thanks for contacting us! Do you have any pictures of the scratches you could share with us? Since it's usually impossible to fit most machine polishers in those door handle areas, you'll have to polish them out by hand. I would start with our orange Correcting Polish with our Orange Hex Grip Applicator, then step down to the Revive Hand Polish with the Blue Hex Grip.https://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/polishing/adam-s-paint-correcting-polish.htmlhttps://adamspolishes.com/shop/accessories/buffing-pads-applicators/adam-s-orange-hex-grip-applicator.htmlhttps://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/polishing/adam-s-revive-fine-hand-car-polish.htmlhttps://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/polishing/adam-s-blue-hex-grip-applicator.htmlhttps://adamspolishes.com/shop/accessories/microfiber-towels/adam-s-single-soft-microfiber-towel.html The orange hex grip is a much firmer foam designed for cutting through imperfections with the Correcting Polish, then you will refine it down with the much softer foam of the blue hex grip with the Revive Hand Polish. Work each polish back and forth and up/down in the area several times, then wipe away the residue with a plush microfiber towel like our Single Soft Towel. It may take a few applications with the Orange Hex to start seeing results - just make sure that you do not get the paint too hot and that you do not focus on a hard edge for too long, since you don't want to wear through the clear coat. Work on the area for a bit, take a few minute break to clean something else like the interior, then go back at the door handles - you never want to polish angry Once it's looking better, apply a layer of our Paint Sealant or one of our waxes for protection and extra shine. Please let us know if you have any other questions and we'll be happy to help out! Respectfully, Dan@Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
