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

[Matt S.]

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. :cool:

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:

nice save matt, ive been looking at the WGTSR and been looking more appealing everytime i see it used... ANOTHER THING I DONT NEED :P

[Jimmie]

Wow, good work Matt.

[Bunky]

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

[Matt S.]

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. :cool:
