Need some serious help.(Steel Wooled Paint)
Hey AG. My friend somehow used steel wool to clean some "dirt" off his paint and now it left a lot of scratch marks on his black paint. I was wondering if m105 with a green or orange pad will be able to take it off? I do not have any experience wet sanding so that's not an option for me. I will be doing a one-two step detail on his car in about a week and these are the only spots I'm concerned with. I know I can make it less noticable but if possible I want to correct it 90% better than before. Enough talking here are the pics. Thanks AG.

Wow, that is pretty bad. I would seriously consider getting some FINE grit sand paper, like 2200, and damp sanding those areas first. He has already ruined the paint, so lightly wetsanding before hand can not hurt any worse. Depending on how deep he went, and it looks BAD on those fenders, he might have gone through, or got very close to, going through the clear coat.
A test spot with the 105 would be the way to go. I would not guarantee anything and explain to him that it might not work.

thx for the replies guys. the hood is like okay.... but the fender is like "OMGWTHBBQS"....I told him that I can make it less noticeable but I can't guaranteed it fully corrected and he understood. My polish arsenal are m105, m205, menz 203, menz 106, meg UC, and scratch X.

I hear ya on that one! I have to say that this is the first time I've ever heard of someone using steel wool to wash dirt from the finish of their car or truck..
Wet sanding does take some time and hands on experience to get used to the mechanics of it and without being a smart ass this might be the perfect time for you to start!!
If you dare, get yourself a small pack of 2000 and 3000 grit wet-dry sanding paper. Fold it around a flat flexible rubber sanding block, keep the area wet with water and begin to smooth out the area. Use this on the flat area and see of you can improve on what's already there...
If not, and I understand, begin with the Meguiar's M105 and take it from there.

Introduce your friend to detailing clay. I didn't appreciate it before b/c my finish was not really contaminated but I helped a buddy do his car this weekend and it was a night and day difference in feel after claying. Even took stuff off his rims that we couldn't budge with apc at full strength.
I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.
