RE: Scratch Removal?
ORIGINAL: strtgld
Some scratches are to deep into the clear coat to get them out with just a scratch removing solvent. I scratched one of my saddle bags pretty good once. HD swirl remover would not work and niether would any other product so here is what I did.
I lightly wet sanded the scratch with 2000 grit sand paper. This will leave very fine tiny scratches which you can remove with almost any swirl remover. I then polished and waxed the bag. This is a little bit more aggressive approach but it left me with a showroom shine and the deep scratch was all but a memory.
try it on a practice surface first if it makes you uneasy.
