If I were you, I'd clean the area with some quick detailer, then apply your polish #2 back to it and see if it looks better. It's likely that that polish was just a glaze with fillers and it washed out revealing the scratch again.

 

Thanks! I was just getting my keys for a trip to my body shop to try to fix a bad touch up job I did and checked into NAM first,followed your instructions and fixed it myself!

 

Way ahead of you! Now, I'll just have to wait and see if it returns again....

 

OctaneGuy, does paintless door ding repair work?I,ve got one in my rear panel I dont know how they could get to it from the inside.

 

Heck yeah. As long as there isn't a crease in the paint or paint chipped off, a good PDR guy can make a perfect repair. If it's the rear quarter panel, they might be able to get it from either the tail light area, the wheel well area, or maybe the gas cap area--but I'm not a PDR guy. Kenchan knows this better than I do.

If you need PDR done, I've got a guy that comes to my shop and does superb work....Hmmm is South Orange County in Florida or California??

Thanks I'm in Califonia,if you Pm me when he'll be there and give me directions from Dana Point I'll bring it in ,and get some Black Wow while I'm at it . Thanks.

 

PMing now---but he will come when you want to be here.

 

I had a dog with wet muddy paws jump on my MINI this week here's the before and after pics after some professional buffing.

Before:



After:

 

Great results--but hard to compare when the before and after pix aren't in the same place---original pix are taken to highlight scratches and after pix highlights the reflectivity. The scratches appeared to be pretty light to begin with, glad you were able to get them out successfully! Just keep the dog away cause you probably won't be able to do a second repair in the same place.
