So the other day we had some strong winds come through and a good sized stick got thrown at my c pillar.:mad: Luckily the only thing that came from it was a surface scratch about 2 1/4" by 1/4". I know that this could be easily taken care of with my PC and a light finishing polish. Rather than go through polishing the entire pillar for just this area, I'd like to try something by hand first. I tried some old Danase SA1 that I had, since it's one of the finer light duty polishes I have, on a foam applicator and applied it with no pressure for a little while, letting the pad do the work, until it seemed like the polish broke down enough. All this did was create light hazing and micromarring from the polish.
Everyone seems to say that newer GM vehicles have hard fnishes, but that doesn't really seem to be the case with mine when it comes to doing any kind of hand polishing. I have tried stuff like Scratch X and M205 by hand in the past, usually ending up with more marring and scratching that what I started with, and end up using the PC to correct.
Can you all give me any reccomendations on products that should take out light scrtching by hand, but are gentle enough ot too crete any hazing or more scratches than before? Maybe It's my technique, but when I am not appling any pressure at all it doesn't seem like what I am doing could be wrong. Any ideas?
