I just picked up my first Harley, a 2007 Fatboy, two tone Burgandy and creme. It has a spot where the paint/clear coat has rub marks. What is the best thing to remove marks in paint.

Check out Zainos. I think the product is Z-5. You can call them and ask what they think is best, great guys.

Do the rub marks look like a white cloudy area in the clear coat?
If so, I have a suggestion for a product that should work perfectly.

BTW - Zaino is great stuff for a long lasting sealant shine.
I do not believe it is your answer to do paint/finish correction.
I use the Z-2, Z-5, Z-6 etc. and love the stuff.

 

I'm not the OP but I have a similar problem and it appears to be just as you say, "...the rub marks look like a white cloudy area in the clear coat..."

There are several spots like this, each no bigger than a dime, along the sides of my '09 Ultra's gas tank . I think it may be caused by the seams on my blue jeans rubbing against the tank. I've tried a clear coat scratch remover made by Kit but it's had no effect on these rub marks.

I'd sure like to know about the product you suggest.

Thanks,

I have had excellent results with this type of problem using Glare Professional Polish.

My wife had a fork bag that hit against the top of her fender. The section was about 3" in diameter.
I was told by an excellent detailer that the only way to fix it would be to repaint.

You just rub the stuff on (with a little pressure) with the corner of a MF towel.
The first time you apply it like rubbing compound, rubbing it in until it all disappears.
In my case I actually did this a few times. Then do a final coat and put a light coat on like you would wax.
This stuff works great, looks good and saved me a repaint job!

The next week the same detailer looked at the fender and could not find the spot!
That was four years ago and you still can't see a mark.

Give it a try and post your results.

 

Where would you suggest I go to find this product?

Thanks,

Thanks for all the responses. I am going to try the Glare and see how it works. I found it availible at www.glare.com, its a bit spendy but after reading about the product I think it is exactly what I need.

Because it's good "up to 650 degrees" I also use it on the chrome.
It does not take more than a nickel size amount so the bottle lasts a long time.

Here's the direct link Glare Polish

 

I found several reviews about this product and learned that Honda sells the same polish under it's own Honda label for about 10 bucks less for the same 12 oz bottle. Think I'll stop at the local Honda car and/or motorcycle shop to see if that's true. I've read good reviews about Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 doing well on rub marks too. I might try both products....Meguires first, then the Glare.

Thanks,

I would try just Glare first and see if that works for you.
Always do the least aggressive method first.
