Hi All, A friend stopped by with a three month old Lexus,has fairly deep scratches on both left side doors from a dog. Some you can't feel with your fingernail some you can.

My question is what is the best way to attack this issue? Wet sand? Need your input please.

By the way,it is a metallic black finish

Thanks

My Dane never jumps but 2 days ago someone came over and wouldn't you know it she jumped on the door. I almost had a heart attack!!!!!!!! :furious:

Fortunately, no scratches.

I wouldn't wetsand, but that's because I have no experience doing it . . . others will have to advise you on that.



If it was *my* car, I'd probably take a whack at the scratches with a 4" pad and a Porter Cable and just try to make them less noticeable, and accept that they're not going to come out completely (especially if I planned to keep the car for years to come).



Good luck,

Without seeing the car, no way to tell you what will definitely work. Start with something like Meguiars Scratch X and increase aggressiveness as needed.
