Detailing - how do you fix minor scratches

i was wondering how you remove minor scratches on your car. i scratched my mom's car. ( the bumper) thank you

If is a minor scratch, i think you can use cutting compound. I've heard that this works, but i've never actually tried it.

thanks. what about the paint, will it help with the paint???

I really don't know much about it. My friend was telling me that the teacher went to one of the cars at school and keyed it. Then he pulled out the buffer and cutting compound and took the scrach out as a demo. He never did that for my class, so i didn't get to see it.

damn, i wanna learn how to fix a scratch that bad. but the size of my scratch isn't that bad. mine happened when i hit the curb. well not really hit the curb more of scratched the curb.

Ill talk to my teacher tommorow if i remember

thanks

can you get a pic of the scratch??

i'll try and get a pic of it. its not that bad. its like a light scratch. its not really deep. its jus that i don't like scratches on cars.

thanks every one.:)

i have used scratchX before for my mum. it worked pretty good. its like $3 at walmart

hopefully its not a gouge in the plastic

Can you feel the scratch with your finger nail? If you can it's pretty deep and maybe through the clear or paint. If not it can be buffed out. otherwise I have filled in some scratches in the past that were deep (through the paint) and depending on how well the paint matches you would never know it had been there. I then wetsand the filled in scrath leveling it off with the original paint. Then I buffed out the wet sanding marks. Not something I suggent doing yourself really...If you still need help send me a PM.

thanks, its not that bad. i jus used one of them cheap scratch removers. i don't notice it that much anymore.

autopia is AWESOME guys!!!
