Paint Scuffs and Scratches

[Ed Kellock]

So if you own one of those horror stories, my black V8 has several spots
where someone burned through the clearcoat?  Do I have to have that
resprayed?

Charles, 

That you put the words polishing compound in quotes says that you're not
only not sure what to use, but more importantly how to use it. That said I
would take it somewhere it'll say you both tons of headache. 

Yes there are horror stories everyone has them about detail shops.. and they
usually relate to a kid with a buffer and a dark color paint, something that
is going to take the new swirl marks and make them shine brightly in the sun
at the exact moment you pick the car up. However there have been huge
improvements in buffing pads, compounds and the machines themselves since
then. 

Any reputable detail shop should be able to handle this without much if any
fuss; and will use products that are safe for clearcoat. 

As for the ding and scratches, don't park there, erect some type of barrier,
a conversation with the bumpy neighbor never hurt. 

Good luck

Scott P
