Doug123 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 a scratch in the clear coat? I bet powdered clear coat might appear white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR6speed Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 If it did not appear white on a black car, how would you know where it was. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 My guess is you're just into the clear which appears white when scratched. You can polish it up and make it look better or fill it with clear and then polish later. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Most scratches look white because it's the light catching and reflecting off the damaged clear. That's why products like SHR work.. because they take the edge off the swirl/scratch so that light doesn't catch it, and they thus become invisible. I'm sure I'm greatly oversimplifying here, but that's the essence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
