Can anyone recomend a good remover?I have a cat problem and a black truck.I know how to fix the cat problem now i want my truck fixed.Ive tried turtle wax polishing compound which worked be the scratches return after a few washes.Im scared to try anything more abasive as im not a pro at this and dont wont to f%&% my truck up.

 

Can you get pictures of the scratches in direct sunlight? You may only be able to do so much by hand before you have to use a machine depending on how deep the scratches are. There are some pretty knowledgable detailers on here that can help you if you get pictures. Have you tried Megs Scratch X 2.0 on the scratches? If not I would try that before I try anything else and follow the instructions on the bottle and put some grunt behind it when you are rubbing with the Scratch X.

 

1. Shoot the cat.
2. Use the same polishing compound w/ a dual action buffer.
3. Finish w/ polish and wax
4. Enjoy

 

You would have to use either a PC7424, Flex, or a rotory with the correct pads and polishes to correct deep scratches in the clear because a Wal Mart buffer does not have the speed or the power to do major paint correction work.

 

Meguires has a new remover for 09 i saw on there web site but I havent seen it in stores yet.

 

Where can i get a dual action buffer?What is it variable speed 2 speed?

 

Can you get some pics in direct sun for the elders to look at and offer some advice on how to correct the problem? I have offered about as much advice as I am comfortable giving with my limited knowledge.

 

What kind of budget do you have to correct the problem area's on your truck?

 

yea because your looking at 2-300$ to really correct the problem with a g110 and all the right pads and products. Thats about what i dropped at ADS last week.

 

I think the body shop will do it for like 200.00

 

Just make sure that you take it to someone that you trust and know that does great work otherwise you will really have a mess on you hands.

 

The PC 7424, G110, and the Flex are Dual Action Buffers so what you said didn't make much sense as a reply to dlsipe1. A random orbital buffer from walmart will not work. However I wouldn't use the turtle wax stuff you have been using with a DA.

Without pictures it is hard to tell what you need done. Can you feel any of them with your fingernail? If so, you are through the clear and you can't do much.

A complete shot in the dark because of no pictures, but I would recommend using Megs 105 followed by 205 on a G110 most likely using polishing pads. They work as a really great combo for some serious paint problems however I don't know how bad yours actually are. You may just need to use only 205.


Get some pics up.

 

If you have the time on your hands, I would just get a package from ADS for the 200 dollars the shop wants. That way, you'll be able to correct other problems that may arise later.

But yea, please post up some pix.

 

I understand that those are all Dual action but people that are not a familiar with the tools of the trade can read that as a Wal Mart or Craftsman type orbital buffer which doesnt have the guts to get the job done. I was just trying for a little clarification on it is all.

 

Hey guys, I wasn't suggesting a wally-mart special. Heck, didn't even know they sold em. I just got a porter cable and its a pretty cool tool for stuff like this.
