Also, let say sap is covered. Im guessing car wash sooner will remove this before it starts hitting clearcoat etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My house as this large douglas fir and the sap is so evil. I leave my car in garage always but will be remodeling shortly and leave my car under the tree. I can leave it near my neighbor but not sure how long the remodeling will take place. I am in Seattle so temp at night will be around 40 to...

When you mean hard polish do you mean like a more abrasive pad along with a more cutting polisher? As for the Dr. color chip I was told that it doesn’t really Bond well with lighter scratches as it will eventually flake off. But back to the aggressive polisher do you have any recommendations as...

So i got little scuffle and having body mechanic replace whole bumper seems like 500 deductible waste and goes to my record when resale and wondering what are my options for this? I got dr color chip and cor matching but I dont think it will help the scratches that are hairlike. Do i go with...

Your right actually the video says its same as dr colorchip. Is your method more cheaper and better results? Obviously time consuming but seems like good experience Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it is the bumper so I'm guessing its plastic and not metal. I'm guessing if its plastic or urethane its more easier to patch? So I don't mind if your method is slower as I got my other ride I will patch too so do want to get it right and have fun with it. I ran across this patching How...

Grocery shopping cart dinged side of car (one tiny peck luckily) but took lot of the paint out and youtubed a guy filling this with Dr. ColorChip | Car Touch Up Paint & Paint Chip Repair and got the paint code too. I remember my previous car if something like this happened you need to fill it...

Wrapping seems easier. You can take the gray part out or i can just buy it. Must be cheaper then repainting it too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You mean the whole bumper front repainted . Hmm maybe down the road when more scratches build Should have not been so chivalry to the lady passing lol Is there anything better then scratch x to use by hand? Ill try scratch x first since its laying around somewhere Im sure hard to see after i...

Why is using a DA polisher a bad idea even at maybe low-speed could it potentially make the paint more crack or something Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see the gray part. That can be taken out and wrapped which i was gonna do or replace which is removable If i use hand with scratch x and see it remove the black marks it mean its restored? If black marks show it means time for wet sand and retouch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see so ill take some magnifying glasses and see cracks If it doesnt have cracks im guessing clear coat and paint still got rubbed off a bit .. if that happened im guessing need to repair and touchup right wetsand etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also i know those meguiars like scratch x are only fillers and disguising. So not sure what to use to polish i have a da porter cable and some cutting pads and waxing pads too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How can i tell if its crack? If it is i saw youtube where do like wet sand in this area etc is that what you mean by repair? What horizontal part and you mean touchip with just paint? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just not sure how to fix this. Cant see it from distance unless closing in but makes me go crazy. I really wanna touch this up but what do i do is it fixable? The gray part is just plastic and ill just get new part for that or wrap it. But the white portion you can see. Really lightly nicked...

Also that polish looks great is it first time? May i ask what your process was and what you used Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice ! So first polish probally should let a pro do it then? Or tackle it myself and do compound and the polish. After i see good results with light i use do light polishes right? What do you mean by light polishes? Like softest abrasive pads, low speed and then low polish dressing! And if i...

I been waiting awhile to do my first polish and been seeing lot of videos here and there and will eventually get to this in few weeks. However, I know that clearcoats aren't that thick like 40 microns etc and can use a micron device to check the depth etc but if polishing removes 4-5 microns...
