Single Stage Paint- issues with scratches

[ScottFW]

These lil cars will really make you hurt since they are so small. My body hurt like you could not imagine. ugh

I know what you mean. I'm 6'3" myself so it's a bit tiring crouching down so much. For a polishing session (or anything more than a wash & wax) I'll put it up on jack stands so I don't have to lean over as much, and I'll use a mechanic's stool so I can sit down while working on the sides. It saves the legs and back a little.

Scott,

Do you mean a PAIN IN THE A** Miata like this WHITE one? These lil cars will really make you hurt since they are so small. My body hurt like you could not imagine. ugh

BEFORE LOOK:



AFTER LOOK:

Looks like the same car Im working on. Different wheels. Funny to here you guys talk about what a pain these cars are to work on I thought the exact opposite thinking, smaller car quicker turn around, did not even think of the leaning, squatting, crouching factor. These were my first Miatas and all I did was roof work. Fabric protection an one and the hard top on the other. Guess thats how we get sucked in huh

Well, the NEXT Miata I work on, I'm going to charge a lil bit more for all the PAIN it will give me. he he he

don't mean to thread jack or resurrect and old thread but what does everyone think of these scratches? SS black

[02nissanISR]

LoL. Definitely a thread resurrection. I'm surprised I still got a notification. Anyway hard to tell from the pic but the top long scratch looks like its on the surface mostly. But that bottom one looks like it could be deeper. If you run you fingernail over it can you feel a ridge? If so its into the clear. If not you might be able to buff it and lessen the appearance can't say for certain it will go away depends how deep it is.
