Scratches in paint!

Discuss washing, waxing and detailing information as well as interior/exterior cosmetic modifications. This includes neons, body, cosmetic wheels, etc. Even under the hood detailing.

Scratches in paint!

Post by G1eitz »

I have scratches on my passenger door that are fairly deep almost as if someone took steel wool to it... Any suggestions on what I could try to get rid of them?

I am having a difficult time picturing what you are saying, any way you could get a couple pics?

It could be taken care of by simply polishing it, or it could need something more aggressive like wet sanding, or could need new paint. Hard to day for sure.
