Hi guys. I have some rather interstering scratches on my car door from keys and the like (power nothing on this car you have to understand). The scratches are white (car's black), but when i run my fingernail over them my nail doesn't dig in and doesnt feel anything. I dont get it. Its not deep enough to be worth painting and sanding and such (i dont think:nixweiss ), but i dont want to have to spend a week rubbing 3M or DACP into it (this is probably going to be by hand by the way). I also have some strange scratches on the roof from the previous owner (dont know how they got there) but they *appear* shallow, but dont seem to come out. What gives? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



By the way, im going to buy some MPPC, #9, prolly some #81, and #16 soon anyway, so if those will work all the better. If not, ill have to find something else. Thanks in advance.

I've had real good luck using Meg's Scratch X by hand on such scratches. And yes, it's always best to follow with a milder polish, such as the #9 you'll be getting.

I have a 7 inch scratch on my white hood, can't really see it until up close, but you can definately feel that it cut through the clearcoat very nicely

somehow it doesn't bother me yet I don't know why

I don't think there is anything OTC to cover it up a little?
 
Are you saying Scratch-X doesn't get rid of scratches? So is it more like a glaze than a compound? This is very disappointing because I just went out and bought some today, but if it's true I will return it tomorrow.
 
I'm only one opinion, but I have never had scratchx get rid of a scratch permanently. It's a quick fix. It fills in the scratch temporarily.



Keep in mind that I do not have a PC. I do everything by hand.
