      hi there,

      first

      wash
      clay
      Scratch-X

      it might take a couple of passes of scratch-x but that should do the trick. follow it up with #7 and than a coat of NXT (see below).

      use a foam applicator pad, and apply plenty of passion (elbow grease)

      make a few passes and then wipe of the product and see if its up to your standards. if not, repeat the application.

      work in the small area and go in a few different dirrections.

        It looks pretty light. I'm sure ScratchX would help out quite a bit.

        Truffle and I posted at the same time, but he is totally correct.

          Looks like a really easy fix. Just get some Scratch-X and rub that sucker out. Read through the Forums and you will find articles about how to remove scratches via Scratch-X. Here is one link:

            honestly from the pic i was thinking it was paint transfer.

            the last one i did (paint transfer) it took me 3 passes and 35 minutes and it was ALL GONE!!!

                Using a paint cleaner was the right idea. Just need a stronger one than the cleaner/wax. ScratchX should do fine.

                You'll of course want to go back over that area with your cleaner/wax, or a polish and wax, etc.

                    The scratchx should do the trick. Remember it takes a little "passion" to do the trick. Let us know how it works.
