help!

 

Rubbing compound/polishing compound/wax.

 

i used this Nufinish scratch remover and i tried clay and wax doesnt help

 

any other tip?

 

you can try a light wetsand and buff.

 

Scratch remover is not rubbing compound. Use a rubbing compound and some elbow greese and it will come out.

 

Grab a bottle of Lacquer Thinner. put a small amount on a rag, rub the surface. Quickly use another rag to re-wipe the surface. It should be gone after doing this the first time.
If not, go through the steps a second time.

Try to do it in the shade, and once you're done, use that rubbing compound to bring the shine back. (Using lacquer thinner may turn the area a little white if you don't rub it clean fast enough.)

Oh yeah, Never use this technique on a freshly painted surface, as this stuff removes fresh over spray.

 

Turtle wax rubbing compound its in a plastic container and the **** looks like a red brown
its like 3.00 works great

 

wet sand with 1500grit...on the white paint be careful no to got to far in to the clear....then use rubbing compound

X2 Try buffing it first, though. Always remember to do the least aggressive method first.

 

good tips mentioned above, for me i'd get more info first.

to analyze the damage, grab ur garden hose or a nice bucket of water
pour a steady flow onto the damaged area, if the streaming water on the surface hides the damage, then you haven't really gone passed your clear yet. however, if u see imperfections while a steady flow of water is hitting it, you've got some damage.

clean it real good w/ lacquer thinner or rubbing alcohol or w/e, and then hit it w/ a light rubbing compound. (i wouldn't use the turtle wax stuff tho, that's too aggressive for me) 3M has a decent one. then u step it down slowly w/ polish.. use whatever u can find at ur automotive store.. basically you're looking for a multi-stage polish process that steps it down gradually to a finishing compound. depending on if ur comfortable w/ a buffer or not, there are hand polishes and machine polishes. U start from the more aggressive (higher numbers for the meguiar's stuff) and step it down. so if u had like a lev7 / lev5/ lev3 polish, you would use 7 first, 5next,3after that, and then a finishing polish, then a good couple layers of wax.

i agree with the thinner, ive used it many times with stuff like that and it works well, the paint was still fine after using it too.

 

Thinner on a rag then wipe with a microfiber. There is no need to immediately wipe it with the microfiber as mentioned previously, though.
