here is a picture of a deep scratch that was inflicted from a kids bicylce handle bars, what do you all think would be the best approach to fixing it?
I was thinking, touch up, let dry a couple days, wet sand, then buff?

I'm gonna take the wide angle lens off and see if I can get some closer detailed photos..

This next series is at a higher quality without the wide angle lens

Yes, #80 Speed Glaze is more aggressive than #82.

It goes #82, then #80, then #83 in terms of aggressiveness.

Hey,

I am glad it turned out for you!!! Please post some pictures, with some in the direct sunlight.

Start with #80 Speed Glaze with a W-8006 Polishing Pad and the rotary spinning ~1300 RPM. If this does not do it, then move on to #83 DACP, then step back down. Use a separate pad per product.

I'm curious does #80 and #82 have diminishing abrasives?
Actually do all of the professional line have diminishing abrasives, if not how can you tell?
