    Help with scratches...

    I can't seem to get these scratches off...

    I washed the car with foam, iron x the whole car, I used nano instead of clay.

    I am using orange pad with wolfgang uber compound... didn't do the job so I went on using orange pad with M105 and still no go... I just switched pad to wool pad I think the brand surf something... Still no go... Here are the pictures

    Before



    After







    Anything you guys should recommend?
    Any other combination?


    Thank You!

    Re: Help with scratches...

    Those look deep. Can you catch them on you're fingernail! If
    So then the saying goes it's too deep to removed them. You have to remember that you only have a very limited amount of clear coat, usually about the thickness of a sheet of sticky note paper. Sometimes you have to live with the ones that are deeper into then paint.

    Got it...
    Yeah they are too deep. If that is the case I will finish up and detail the car.

    What about the ones next to it? It's not deep at all. It's still showing up even after compound and polish. Any suggestions?

    The car is a MBz E350

    Thanks again!

    If you have hit those with the Sur-buff pads and they still remain then I would leave it and finish up.

    If you have access to a PTG you could try and wet sand them out. You may not remove them, but improve them. But, to me, I'd don't think you can safely compound those scratches out. They look to deep.
