Hairline Scratch

[thefish8]

I found a small scratch on my car and it pisses me off since it is pretty new. What works, I don't want to filter through the gimmicks?

A body shop would use rubbing compound if it's just a scratch in the clear coat.

Buff that sh!t out

 

[thefish8]

I think it is just in the clear coat, none of the paint is missing. What sort of compound?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Buff it out with a baseball bat. Works wonders.

Hairline scratch, try Rogaine.

If you want helpful information, try the Martha Stewart forum.

For just a clearcoat, buffing and maybe a polishing compound. If it's deeper, they have those touch up paints.

<-- currently in the process of filling in a deep chip so it won't rust.

Compounds made to be used by hand have a more coarse abrasive in them so it's easier to do... and compounds made to be used with a buffing wheel have a finer abrasive so you don't take off too much material. It won't hurt to using a compound made for a wheel by hand, it'll just take more effort and more time, but using a compound made for hand use with a wheel can be bad news very quickly.

:thumbsup: Good advice.

Be careful how you go about doing it. It can be easy to take off more than you intend to, and that would be a very bad thing.

Agreed, Leno's retireing soon; But don't go getting your hopes up that you will be his next replacement anytime soon.
