    That's basically what I ended up doing and it was much quicker.. the problem areas tended to be right behind the wheel wells.

    Re: Scratches not going away...

    Agreed that it isn't worth going through the clear as it is the daily driver for the wife. But I wanted to buff as nice as I could and CQuartz so she can wash at home (easier to maintain). If I take...

    Re: Scratches not going away...

    It seems to go away little by little. Can I use a thin wool pad to speed up the process a bit?

    Re: Scratches not going away...

    I thought with ClearCut you are not supposed to use heavy pressure for the initial cutting. Only the final passes. Its the opposite of most cutting compunds. Hopefully someone that uses clearcut can...

    Scratches not going away...

    I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata that I plan on using some CQuartz 3.0 on but I wanted to buff out the scratches. So I grabbed my CarPro ClearCut and the Meguiers microfiber cutting pad and went to work....

    Re: Rust Spot!!! Spray vs Touch Up

    I don't think POR15 is a great underlayment for touch up paint or body sprayed paint. I may be wrong though. Would just like to hit a couple spots with a recommended rust converter it before he...

    Re: Rust Spot!!! Spray vs Touch Up

    Nope. There is no rust to speak of. Ground absolutely everything. In the grinding picture it was sanding dust. So I ground it out further to guarantee I got outside of the problem area then cleaned....

    Re: Rust Spot!!! Spray vs Touch Up

    I don't know what you mean from the seam? I ground out with a dremel down to bare metal in the shape of a trapezoid, you can kind of tell by where the putty lies. I wanted to go wider than the...

    Re: Rust Spot!!! Spray vs Touch Up

    I pushed down the rain gutter and there is only a speck of rust there. I plan to use a little rust converter over it after trying to sand the spot. I ground off all of the surface rust above, it...

    Re: Rust Spot!!! Spray vs Touch Up

    Re: Rust Spot!!! Spray vs Touch Up

    Actually have a good family friend who owns a body shop who's painter will color match and air brush it in. $75 at most. I do have a remaining question, what would you spray to help prevent the rust...

    Re: Rust Spot!!! Spray vs Touch Up

    Yeah I figured that is the correct procedure... Just wasn't going to repaint the entire panel based on a thumbprint rust spot. I am fine if you can see it, hell, you could see it with the surface...

    Rust Spot!!! Spray vs Touch Up

    Well I got the inevitable rust spot on the ol' Hyundai Sonata... Right on top of the windshield on the roof of the car. It is well maintained and I want to keep rust of the car as long as I can. So,...
