    Vehicle scratch removal

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to remove light scratched from a vehicle. Nothing is going to fix them if they are in the primer, but what about clearcoat or not even that? Any tricks you've tried?
    Maybe clay bars or something?

    well, you're going to need to get an orbital buffer, not rotary, and then some polish, not wax.


    you basically have to sand down the area but it is very light


    anyways check out the Toyotanation.com detailing section


    'PB' has written a pretty nice how to guide on all detailing over there

        Wash
        Clay bar
        Compound
        Polish
        Wax

        Its a long process. The general rule is, if your nail can catch the scratch, its too deep to be fixed with compound/polish.

          Has anyone tried one of those clearcoat "pens"?

          I know it's the crazy Oxyclean guy that promotes them, but hey Oxyclean works...maybe they do too?
