Scratch on Black Denum paint
On my recent trip, me and a buddy were trading on fill ups and he accidently ran the gas nozzle along the top of my tank. It's very light and I'm positive it will rub out. Before I really try to rub this scratch, I wanted to know what products you guys would recommend.
My concern is that I have never dealt with Black Denum paint.
What do you guys recommend?
Thanks

RE: Scratch on Black Denum paint
I always thought a scratch on a tank with black demin is there for life. I read in another post that someone was able to get out scratches by water sanding it out, but I would never try that on my tank, would rather just keep the small scratch as a reminder to not scratch it again.

post for 3dog in the detailing forum. I'll bet he will know. I thought that denim paint would look better with a little wear on it, kinda like a pair of denim jeans. I'd forget about it and keep on riding or get some touch up paint for it...

Pig Snot worked for me
Had a scratch on the black back fender from throw over saddle bags that were not put on right. The Pig Snot took it out. It is available at Harley places.

RE: Scratch on Black Denum paint
I had a fairly deep scratch on the rear fender of my 06 Denim black Bob and I took it out with
600 grit wet sand paper. You could not tell it was ever there, use figure eights or a circular motion.

RE: Scratch on Black Denum paint
I owe a debt of gratitude to everyone.
I was curious to those who used sandpaper whether that was recommended to them or they just thought it would work.
It certainly makes more sense than rubbing compound which is totally out of the question now.
