If you're ever in Brooklyn, I'll see what I can do. Let me know via PM if you're interested.

Re: Help

Can they be felt with your fingernail?

Re: Help

This looks deep. One of the quickest methods of reducing the appearance of the scratch is by feathersanding.

Re: Help

You cannot feel it , matter of fact you cannot feel any of them

Re: Help

Then, in that case, it's probably underneath the clear coat. Has the area been repainted?

Re: Help

Even although it cannot be felt. It's a guide. It could be quite deep. If you couldn't take it out with passes of UC with good technique,then more professional means will have to be applied. It's hard to tell,but they don't appear to be through the clear. If they are,then they can't be fully corrected.

Calais offered to help you out and give advice. That a starting point.

He's already contacted me via PM, hopefully we will be able to fix whatever problems he's got together. Any input or advice before then would be greatly appreciated by all of you out there who have more experience than I.

I'm not sure. They're macro shots and they look ultra fine to me. If it is something under the clear after a repaint,then not much can be done.

Productive post.

Anyway, me and my pink fingernails have similar marks on the hood of my car. I've come to terms with them - I have no idea what caused them (original paint, no clear coat), but I just learned to accept them on my Daily Driver. It's maddening for sure, but saved me the $1000 for a repaint.

Re: Help

Okay so i take a trip out to brooklyn to work with calais and let me tell you , He knew just as much as i did if not more. He has great knowledge of the product and some good ideas , I will leave it to him to post the pics and the technic. But keep in mind a lot of my scratches were to deep and we weren't able to get rid of them , but we did blend them in and the hood looks so much better..... THANK YOU

Thanks, I actually had a lot of fun talking with someone who knows Meguiar's products and does not think I'm a maniac for my detailing habits. I think that we did the best that could be done with the problems we had in front of us and the end result was pretty impressive.

I can't really take all the credit as Sudz worked on the car about as much as I did and really has a well maintained car. He's a true Meguiar's fanatic just like myself, so we were on the same page as far as a plan of attack. I will probably just make a whole thread about the work we did when I get a chance tomorrow.
