Spot Buffs scratch removal on a black Mazda CX9 Soccer Mom edition

[matt@autogeek.net]

So my neighbor has an '08 CX9...and has a few kids, who supposedly put these scratches in her paint. I've done some work for her before, so she came to me to see if I could take her scratches out. I went over and took a look at them, and said I'd be back in 10 minutes. Grabbed some tools and my camera and got to work.

Her daughter just washed the car (yikes) so it was clean when I started.

Tools used:
Porter Cable 7424 w/ 4" Spot Buffs pads
1Z Intensive Paste w/yellow cutting pad
Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0 w/green polishing/finishing pad
Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 w/gray finishing pad
All products were used on SPEED 6

Here are some scratches that were on her bumper:

Wow, good work Matt.

Nice. Why did you choose the green pad over a white pad?

I've been liking the green pads more and more....they're very versatile, and on speed 6 did a fine job removing the hazing from Intensive Paste.
