Freshly waxed the wife's brand new metallic jet black car today and drove the family to the mall for shopping and some leisure including a meal and a movie.
All was fine until we walked out the mall where I saw this é#$%& woman who laid her grocery bags on the hood digging her $½#%&é purse for her ½$é%&# car keys !!! :angry I couldn' t help yelling "what do you think you're doing ??!!" she is incredibly cheeky and she just just stares blankly at me and just grabs her bags and drags them off the hood and walks away. Just as I start cussing and cursing my wife hushes me saying it is not worth all the disgrace... :furious:
Under the fluorescent lighting the damage is heart stopping ! the area is badly scuffed and especially the scratches caused when the dirty #$½%&é dragged the bags off the hood made my stomach churn and my heart sink !! :soscared:
I immediately, as soon as I came home got the Sonax Metallic Hochglanz Politure (means "highgloss polish") and hit the problem. Since it is a "nanotechnology" medium abrasive polish, it is supposed to rid the hood of the scuffs... 1/2 hours later I did the final buffing of the area... No, still there but not as bad... One more application, a little better but still there... The third run but no... The scuffs are not deep (do not catch fingernails whatsoever) but unbelieveably stubborn !!! I tried Sonax Intensive 3 on top which is a slightly stronger abrasive. Still no result. I guess I will have to go for the machine work... I just would like to ask for your opinion: Should I grab my rotary or orbital ? I never used my rotary on a brand new car (only 15 days old at only some 100 miles) but I doubt the orbital will rid the hood of the scuff marks... :buffing:
I feel as though the rotary would be too harsh on a too new surface... I wouldn' t have been so shaky if it hadn' t been a black car. Black is unforgiving as all of you know... :nervous2:
Please give me an idea...
(And should I have actually laid that #$½%&é on the hood beside her bags and have done her a favor ??!!!)
I am using all the smilies so I can smile at myself... otherwise I will get mad all over again.... :furious:
