Default help with scratches

Ive noticed that on my hood i have a few small scratches. They do not appear to be deep but they are still annoying. Anybody know what i can do to get rid of these. Even though you can only see them sometimes they annoy the hell out of me cuz i dont know where they came from.

Highly recommended detail shop is your solution. Do not try anything on your own.

Nu-Finish Scratch Doctor works pretty well on fine scratches...but of course..... I never could understand how a gell/chemical could ever pssibaly fix paint?

But the nu finish does seem to work on FINE scratches.

1. If you do get it dont be cheap with it dont be afraid to load it on a little bit

2. Really put some elbow grease in it and do it a couple of times for it to work.


Other wise it seems like othing else i use doesnt really work



Or like he said get a pro to do it.... but it could get pricey....

Nu-finish =$5.00 - $7.00 depending on where u get it.... seems like walmart is the cheapest

Havent needed on the stang but on past cars I've used "Scratch-X"
Work on swirls and FINE scratches.
If you put too much elbow into it, you might add to you problem.
Read the directions and follow them.
Compound will DULL your finish. Would not recomend that.

Right. If you are going to try something go lightly. (Clearcoat is thin enough and want to leave as much as possible for the detailer to work with). Good luck!!!
