My father has some decent scratches on the side of his new truck. Not down too far, cant see the primer, but not that good non the less. With a PC and the two Menzerna polishes, is it possible to get them out. Anything special that I have to do in order to get them out? I tried searching the subject, but couldnt find anything on this. If anyone can direct me to a previous thread discribing how to do this, I would appreciate it!
 
If you do a titles only search for "scratches" or "scratch" I'm sure you'll come up with many helpful threads.



The Learn! link at the top may also have an article about this (not sure though).



You'll quickly find out that whether the scratches catches your fingernail or not will help determine if you can safely polish them out or not though.
 
I did a search, really didnt come up with a lot, so I posted this question. Part of the scratch, I can feel with my fingernail, and parts of it I cant. Any info would be appreciated!
 
Hey Mike,



It sounds like you're going to have to fill the scratch with some touch-up paint and the wet sand it or use Lanka to level the touch-paint.



No polish can help with something that can be felt with your fingernail unless you are extremely capable with wetsanding and a rotary buffer.
