Hi Everyone,

Got into a fender bender the other day, wondering if this could be fixed w/ a PC. I buffed it w/ a PC and LC Orange pad with OC and IP. A lot of improvment but scratches are still visible from 3-4 feet away. Along with ding, guys think it can be pulled out? :sign

My next step is to touch up and wet sand, any tips? Here are some pix:

Try wetsanding with 2000grit then PC, it should look way better than what it is now...I think if you touch up the chips it wouldn't be too noticeable..

If you havent wet sanded before, then I dont think you should do that. Especially not if you're going to be removing 2000 grit sanding marks with a little PC. I know a great detailer in NJ if you want to take it there. PM me if you're interested.

I've done wetsanding before and removed 2000 grit sand marks w/ my PC. Just not too sure on the steps to take for the touch up. Looks like there is clear coat missing, should I touch up>apply clear>wet sand? I'm sorry for being a total noob.

Thanks for the input guys!!!

Clean it out with alcohol and water. Apply several THIN layers of touch up paint being sure to let it dry properly. Apply the layers until the scratch is completely filled it. Itll form a blob. Then you went sand it to make it even with the rest of the paint. Polish it out to remove sanding marks. Apply your clear coat.
