Well to make a long story short, i wet sanded a part of my car with 1000grit then 2000, and i used "scratch doctor" but it wont work, it looks like i did nothing to it. Does anyone have anything that can? instead of bringing it to the expensive body shop?

yes, you need to use more fine polish to buff the area to get it to shine again, probably need a buffer to get good results (hands are too slow). 2000 grit isn't that fine yet to give glossy finish

Haha, I see you debadged but the old gunk didn't come off. You will need a fine polishing compound, and you MUST use a power buffer. Well, technically you don't but you will be sitting there for a good 1-2 hours buffing if you do it by hand. Buffer = 3000rpm. Your hand = 100rpm if you're fast(no jokes please). Using a power buffer for 2-3 minutes equals about 1-1.5hrs by hand.

man, all you were trying to do was to take off the old marks? you definitely went far for that. it's pretty scratched up, hopefully nothing through the clear coat. i use sonus stuff, but you can easily get meguairs or 3m. you need different grade, starting from rougher polish all the way to the finish. buffer is a must in this case or your arm will fall off

You must be very careful using a highspeed buffer, you leave it long enough in one place, it will melt off your paint. And since it's probably factory paint, the clearcoat is probably going to be really thin and easy to polish through and expose the base coat. I would advise you to take it to a bodyshop or detailer to have it professionally polished.

I would use 3M 39002 fine cut to get that out. It appears that you haven't even completely sanded out the factory orange peel. High speed buffer too
I've buffed soooo many cars, it's ridiculous.

I think there is 3000 unigrit out there somewhere. Maybe that will help.

BTW put on some shoes.

vinh, your car is a 2000 so it's just like mine.....no clear coat. Just layers of black.


2000grit is fine enough, ONLY if you can sand the area evenly. Did you use a sanding block?

I've been able to take off 2000 grit marks before so it's not impossible.
