Time to skin the cat!!
I had just finished feeding the cats and doing a couple of chores when I went out to my car (black 92 MB 300E) to find one of the cats lying on the hood. As I picked him up I noticed 3 long scratch marks where he apparently jumped up, slipped and dug in his claws. Arrrrgh!!!

They're deep enough to lightly catch my fingernail, but not down to the primer. What's the best way to approach this? I have a PC and a fairly complete set of Edge 2K pads, along with XMT 1,2 & 3 and some Meg's 80, 82 and 83. Will I need to feathersand the scratches or can I possibly get it done strictly with the PC?

Anyone want a black and white fat cat with sharp claws? Cheap!?

On the bright side, I bet there are no mouse droppings on your car.

LOL I feel your pain!! My car is outside 24/7 and my city is practically overrun with feral cats. I found a nice long scratch in my hood as well. The other day it was raining lightly and I went outside with the umbrella and I found a cat sitting on top of my tire sheltering himself from the rain and giving himself a bath. I have a SUV so he had some clearance between the tire and the wheel well. I wish I had gotten a picture. lol

I would go at it with the PC. You would be surprised how capable it is at defect correction.

get some of your more abrasive polish and wipe it into the scratch with your finger. with some pressure, rub it into the crevice. Go over it with your PC using a spotbuff [4"] pad or just a regular one with the same polish, apply pressure over the area. this wont get RID of it, but will take away 98% hopefully!

Good luck,

Ryan M
