ug45cwb Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Another little present left on my car last week . Had a go at sorting it out myself with good success. Used meguires ultra cut compound on a soft wool pad to flatten it out, followed by sonus SFX1 on foam pad to tidy up, with sonus SFX3 again on foam pad to finish off. Whole process took about an hour and i'm pleased with the results. Before After Other than the tiny bit that was right down to the plastic, the scratch is invisible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ug45cwb Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Next time I get a similar scrape I will do a more detailed report. The meguires did all the hard work. Caution is advised with it, even on a DA polisher it's a very aggressive compound with the wool pad. The sonus sfx system works great on my kuro zed but against damage this heavy it would be a very slow process without some cutting first. Sorts out holograms and swirls rapidly. This wouldn't work on stone chips. Although the scratch looks pretty hideous it was mostly very light. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toffeeblock Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Nice job shown above. After claying the car I use the Sonus pads and polishes (SFX-1/2/3) and a Megs rotary polisher and get great results. Just a shame you get bird s**t on the car within a few days to spoil the mirror finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 NICE! I've done minor corrections on scratches that are very deep by rounding the edges making them near invisible but that is rather impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I would ask though as there is a HUGE difference between DA and rotary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
