hair line scratches

outdoorsmen · Feb 20, 2014

Just had a tragety happen. I was getting a cardboard box out of my truck when it fell over and scraped against the door leaving hairline scratches. I hit it with some McGuire's polish and most seem to come out but not all any ideas on how to get them gone

What was the exact Meguiar's polish used and what applicator or pad did you use to try and remove them? If you can feel them with your finger nail, then they may be too deep.

Take your truck outdoors and push through some overgrown trails.
I guaranty you that you will no longer notice.

Meguires ultimate compound with a wool pad on RDAO WORKS well (don't be afraid to lean in on it). Follow up with fine machine polish and soft foam pad.

Or pay someone else to do it....

I used mcguires ultimate polish in the black jug on a micro fiber towel. I didn't spend much time on it yet cause I had my 15 month old son with me, hence why I dropped the box. Should of waited till mom got home so I would of had both hands free.

Try working the ultimate polish for a little bit longer. If that doesn't work, you may need to step up to ultimate compound or pick up some polishing pads.

just tried some McGuire's scratch out 2.0 it seemed to work a little better but if you pay close attention you can still see the scratches

Can't feel them just barely see them. You have to know where they r too see them now. Any way to get them totally gone

A machine is probably the only way to get 100% rid of them.

If you've made progress by hand and have some patience, then keep at it!

I agree, go get some dirt and some trail pin striping on it... Gives the truck a whole lot of character.

It's a TRUCK. If your not scratching it, you're not using it.
