01Bullitt Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Took my car to a show last weekend in a cramped area. After getting it home, I noticed someone had put a fairly good size scratch in the top of my bumper. Any ideas on what I can use to get the scratch out? I think it's beyond Swirl and Haze.

0 01Bullitt Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Haven't taken any yet because it's hard to get a shot in the grage but the scratch is about 2" lon and pretty jagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 challenger Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 if the scratch is minimal u might be able to wet sand it off.. check out junkmans vids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 01Bullitt Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 I finally got a picture of the scratch. It doesn't look deep, only long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 estecoca Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 from that pic, it looks like it is only a clear-coat scratch. at best it would only take a porter cable, orange pad and some Swirl & Haze remover (followed by the rest of the PC process with FMP, etc). At worst, it would take some minor sanding (again, as someone suggested, checkout the Junkman videos on wet sanding). all in all, I wouldnt be too concerned about that one...

0 01Bullitt Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks. I'll try Swirl and Haze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dhh_93 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 yeah that doesnt look that bad. it might take a couple passes but SHR and a PC w/ orange pad should take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Junkman2008 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 yeah that doesnt look that bad. it might take a couple passes but SHR and a PC w/ orange pad should take care of it. Once I fix my computer, I can create and upload new videos that address scratches like this. My new pad destroying technique would resolve this issue.

Question
01Bullitt
Took my car to a show last weekend in a cramped area. After getting it home, I noticed someone had put a fairly good size scratch in the top of my bumper.
Any ideas on what I can use to get the scratch out? I think it's beyond Swirl and Haze.
