Hi every1,

Some mutherf#@#$@ decided to tag the back of my car, albeit it was dusty so i guess they wanted to write their name in it.. which i was fine with until i discovered the tool they used scratched their tag into my paint....

the scratches are fairly light but still visible.. whats the best product to use to get rid of light scratches... isit possible? i tried using that glide on glaze stuff and buffed that.. didn't work.. tho it looks a lil shinier...

Damm sorry to hear that.

Try to buy a peoduct call "Turtle WAX" comes in lipstick form.

if its only light scratch it will cover it with same colour paint stick.

and easily buff off.

if not... well you jsut have live with it :)

damm it some poeple dont have respect for other people's property. :)

cheers

Joey

get a good cut and polish

and cut it back

glide on glaze is for shine

you need something a little stronger that will basically eat away a little clear coat which is where the bulk of the scratch is and then you buff that off and then stick a bit of 3M or mothers glaze shite on and good as new. if the scratch is still visible then the scratch is not a "light" scratch

i use this as well good product

not to get anyones nose out of joint but avoid cutting and polishing your car .

If you do it - ensure you limited it to once a year as each time your reducing your paint layers and make it more prone to fading and cracking etc. For that matter you should wax your car rather than polish as polishing removes paint where as wax adds a protective coating

My 2 cents

Have to agree with ECL27 & Bully

Meguires Scratch X is good schtuff for light scratching and waxing is the way to go.

Butt... I have not had to try to get rid of a scratch made by an idiot with some sharp object.

Good luck

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
