So the whole driver side on my car was blasted and I have these nasty marks everywhere. I can feel the texture when I was washing it with a microfiber mit so I assume they are on there pretty good. Since a normal wash won't do any good, what do you recommend I do?

I was told to first see if white vinegar can get rid of it, then try claybar. After that would be some paint cleaner then polishing.


I am not sure if the vinegar should be diluted or what specific products to get if that fails.


Here is one pic I have that shows it but ignore the scratches and focus on the bottom of the picture.

I would try a light polish on a white pad and go from there, after all the necessary wash and decontamination steps of course.

I have no idea what polishes are light and the what the differences between pads are nor do I have an orbital buffer. I am basically completely new to this and have no idea what specific products are good for it.

Noted. lol, sorry I jumped the gun on my response.

Alright give that section a wash, once it's clean follow up with using a clay bar to remove bonded contaminants. From there I would inspect the surface to see how bad it is. I never tried vinegar before so I can't comment on that, but you could get yourself a small bottle of Meguiars scratch X and a soft foam applicator to polish those areas out.

Something like this

That should clean up some of the scratches in that area, although most of that hood looks like damage from throw rocks from other cars.
