Hey everyone.. first and foremost I want to say that I have been using megs products for the last 10 years. I love their stuff, and sometimes I think I am in over my head with all the different products out there!
Anyways,
i just recently had some body work done on my 07 civic. it is nighthawk black pearl, so you can imagine how easily flaws are seen. so to make a logn story short, body guy rubs his hand on the pillar feeling for overspray WHILE THERE IS DIRT ON THE CAR!! I don't know why body guys always do this... they of all people should know better. So hes rubbing and what not and I don't really care too much because i figure if he left any scuffs I would just buff it out at home..
The paint was done about 2 weeks ago.. so not fresh out of the oven, but still fresh and hasn't fully cured yet 100%.
So today I see the car under direct sun and to my shock i see scuffs in the area about 3 inches long and abotu an inch thing.. it looks like someone put sandpaper to it! well makes sense.. the car had dirt on it.. it was basically like sandpaper! I went out and got scatchX to no avail... then i used show car glaze to see if i could polish it out.. helped a bit but nothing great.. then i worked it in more... turned to my step 2 cyrstal polish.. better... then went to see if step 1 cleaner would work.. not bad.. then back to step 2.. then scratchx... right not it is OK it is about 50% better but there are areas where it got scratched a bit depper but nowhere near the base coat as you cannot feel the scuff you can only see it in certain reflections.. so my question is... should i try the UC on it? is the UC better than scratchx? i thought scratchx would be the best for the spot treatment.. or would i potentially need to mechanically buff it out as i would need to follow the steps of polishing after wetsanding?
TIA!
