I will tell you how dumb I am. I had two scratches on my bike. A friend told me to go to get some fine sand paper, sand the scratches down, and use some clear coat from Wal~Mart to cover it up. I listened and it really made a mess. I ended up taking it to a body shop. The guy buffed it out and now you can't tell it. The guy at the body shop scolded me and told me if I didn't know what I was doing, next time ask someone that would know. So I think the point is, everyone messes up!!!!!!!!!!! I know I did, but lucky for me, I was able to get it fixed.
