hello everyone, I've been lucky enough to find this great site! i came across it when i was doing some good ol' google searching on how to remove scratches on paint. see the thing is, my mom owns a 2004 sequoia.. and it has its soldier marks.
exhibit A
23224
that's the front driver side fender. it had some white paint rubbed into it.
exhibit B
23225
this is the right rear side of the suv. ouch.
and this is how it looked after it was just washed
23226
like i said, i did my little researched and alot of youtubin'. mike phillips, thank you very much sir. you have a way of teaching that really makes it easy to understand! so after watching and reading i invested some money on my first autogeek package.. and this is what i got for the job
23227
32 oz. Meguiar's Mirror Glaze #205 Ultra Finishing Polish i used this to polish with a blue pad.
Porter Cable 7424XP Dual Action Polisher, seems like everyone suggested it so i went with it.. plus it was in my budget
128 oz. Meguiar's D170 Hyper Dressing used this for the wheels dressing and for the vinyl in the interior.
Nanoskin Autoscrub Speedy Prep Sponge since im a newbie i figured this was a safe bet and afordable incase i droped it!
32 oz. Optimum Car Wash very awesome stuff here.
32 oz. Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax i used this to lubricate the nanoskin scrub, used it on the windows too.
plus im planning on using it later on as a no rinse wash to maintain the cars in good shape.
11 oz. Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax i was pretty impressed with the final result this gave me on both of the cars i used this on.. im sure theres superior waxes out there, but i wanted to start of with meguiars, since its been known to be a good brand. im confused with all of these brands out there..
Meguiars D103 All Purpose Cleaner PLUS Combo Pack
i used this everywhere.. but mainly in the interior's upholstery.. and vinyl. i also used it on the leather. very powerfull stuff.
AND lastly i used Meguair's 105 to cut.
after hours, and hours and more hours..:buffing::buffing::buffing::buffing::buffin g::buffing:. damn no one told me an suv would take HOURS! but hey, in the en i finished it and its awesome to see the results... and it was more personal thing to me becuase its my mother's car and she was really impressed with the results.
this is the AFTER picture of thr drivers side fender that had that paint rubbed onto it

i used a wool pad first, and it took it mostly off, than i cut with the yellow pad, and polished with 205 and a blue pad
