Hey guys, i wouldve posted this under repairs but i figured more of the right people would see the post here.

Well anyway , i have a couple of Long scratchs on the trunk lid, of which a few were able to compounded to a point thats barely noticable, but one remains very noticable. I feel it when I run my nail over it. what do you guys recommend i do.

Some clear cpictures would be really helpfull. I fear that if you can really feel it easily, then there may not be much that you can do, esp if you've used an agressive abrasive already.

 

If you can feel it with your nail, chances are it won't buff out. I know people have used touch-up pens to fill the area in around 3-4 thin coats. After a few days, they wetsanded with 1500 - 2400 - then 4000 grit paper and polished with a rotary and decent abrasive (megs dual action cleaner polish) to remove the sanding scratches. The repairs were undetectable - but wetsanding was the key. If you don't know how to do it, get the tools, read up and practice on a junkyard panel before attempting. A body shop may do the same thing yet charge you a decent wad.

 

well I had a body shop do the work already and was told that i have to paint it. I guess i wanted to see if anyone had any tricks that have worked for them. Ill ask the shop what they think of the touch up pen and wet sand and if they feel confident they can do the job ill give it to them. Thanks alot guys. Ill let you know what happened.
