I was impressed with XMT 360, took alot of the defects out, but there were clearly some scratches that needed XMT #3.

WOW...that certainly is a very nice job. So XMT360 really is a good "repair" kit for minor scratches...minor being just the clear coat. How deep were hte scratches anyway? Hit the primer coat?

### did he scratch it on? Those looked nasty indeed. Great job on the correction although I don't think you'll be able to convince anyone that you worked too hard when we can see you did it in your flip-flops!!!:D

LOLOL, we've got these trees on the side of the driveway, and he reversed out of the garage and as he was reversing he hit them.

I used a 5 inch backing plate and a 5 inch pad.
