One of my clients caled and asked if I could come out and remove some of her sons artwork from her houosekeepers black car and this is what greeted me when I got there.

It was also down the side of the passenger doors and rear quarter panel.....a nice series of squares, circles, some letters and random squiqqles, he must have had a great time:awesome:


I No Rinsed the damaged areas and began wet sanding with 3000 grit paper and followed this with my rotary, a lambswool pad and Optimum polish at 1400 rpm's.

That step removed the majority of the sanding marks and any remaining traces of scratches but left mewith very fine halos. I then switched pads,switchedto a white finishing pad and Optimum polish. This step removed the wool pad swirls.

The final step was my Cyclo, white pads and PoliSeal. Total time for the hood and sides

Nice work! Did you finish the car or just fix the artwork? How old was the kid?
 
Oh my! I would be so upset with my kid! I'm amazed you were able to get it out. How did the little varmit do it?

I still have trouble using a PC and you are wet sanding and using a rotary. A whole different league!
 
Hello autogeekians,

First, thank you very much for the kind comments, much appreciated.

The little artist in question is about 4 or 5 and he used a nice oak stick as his drawing tool. Who knows, he may grow up to be a famous artist and I'll have pics of some of his first works.......cha ching!!!

It took me about an hour to do all the scratched up areas which included the hood, passenger fender, door, rear door and rear quarter panel.

We may come to next years Detailfest and we can do a wetsanding clinic if we do make it......I hate flying though :o
