Best way to remove paint 'pits'??

[Morgon]

This may be -sliiightly- offtopic, as far as Adam's products go, but I'm fairly confident someone may have an answer.

 

I've been using Adam's for a couple of years (or more correctly - I bought a big kit a couple of years ago, used it for a season, then got lazy)

 

A couple of days ago, we had quite a bit of wind. I have a car canopy in my driveway which I park my Pontiac G6 under to keep it away from.... well, wind (and rain, sun, etc). It already had a couple of rips in it from other weather, but this basically completed the job - I woke up to having no roof on the canopy at all.

 

In the process, seems that the fabric decided to tap-dance across my hood, leaving a ton of scratches, scrapes, etc. They seemed fairly topical, and I was able to hand-rub some of them away, so I got it washed (not an Adam's wash, but just a full-service hand-washing in my area) in hopes they would magically disappear. Of course, things don't quite work that way.

 

Remembering my magic bucket of various automobile 'elixirs', I pulled out the Swirl & Haze Remover, along with a microfiber sponge and some Detail Spray. Thankfully, I was able to get rid of nearly all of the scratches, only leaving some slight webbing (this was strictly a quick fix - with the proper time, I have no doubt I could get at least those completely worked out).

 

My question specifically has to do with some pitting that occurred as a result of the canopy flapping against the hood. I'm guessing there's nothing from Adam's that would help with this, but does anyone have any real-world suggestions they would recommend?

 

I've attached some pics using the 'macro' setting of my camera, but you can only get so close...

 

I believe the white portion inside the first picture is where I tried working the SHR into it.. 'desperate times', and all.

 

Thanks!

The first picture looks like it can be reduced or cured with some wet sanding. The second picture appears to have a rust spot in it which means there will be paint work in your future.

Sounds like a job for the Junkman:thumbsup: send him a pm

Wet sanding and some touch up paint may be your friend here. Hard to tell by the pics as they're a bit blurry.

I agree. Retake the pictures using your camera's macro function. That will allow you to get real close and get a clear picture. Sorta like this:

 

 

This is what the macro function allows you to do.
