How do you remove the following?

[TIATO]

Hi there.

This forum is an amazing resource with many sources of inspiration.

I am a first time poster with a few questions. I drive a '98 M3 Sedan which has a few items which I would like to minimize as much as possible.

Which Meguiars products will help me achieve this goal?

Please review the images below:



Ive got several scratches like this on several panels.


Bird Dropping



Thanks in advance.

Hi TIATO,

Welcome to Meguiar's Online!

If you want to fix these by hand then you're talking about spending with your car using our ScratchX .




If you would like to step up to machine polishing you'll find you can achieve better results with less energy expended to invest in a dual action polisher and a few cleaner/polishes from our Professional Line. Regardless, here are a few articles for you to read...

Well, for the most part you will want to stick with the usual 5-step system.

Sheik has done an excellent job saying what products he used in this thread here:

You would want to clay the whole car, and then use the ScratchX on all your trouble spots, or even the whole car. Be sure to read the How to apply ScratchX articles in the How-to Section.

Remember the 5 steps:
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Clean
4. Polish
5. Wax

Then maintain... You'll keep your finish looking good.
