Yeah I'll have to try the Goo remoo......ve deal ......I've heard about it I think off of Pirate or yotatech.com
for bosco ..... removing clear coat scratches works best with 3M perfect II at 700 rpm's after using 1500 grit wet sand paper....... and just to show you all I know what I'm talking about ...I detail Ferrari's, Rolls, Bentleys, Mercedes, Motor Coaches, etc...and have for over 11 years for an Exotic Car Mobile Detail Service I own

Thanks for the tip contoy! I actually just scratched the hell out my 01 taco on my last trail run! and my wife was about ready to kill me, I got most of it out with a good resin coat and a buff but there are still some visible lines. I will have to give that a shot. So just wet sand it then buff it with the 3m? Thanks man.

ahh, Bosco.........You got to tell you wife that a Toyota 4 by looks better with some " Northern California Pine Striping " on it ....it gives it character........
On the wet sand job.... keep your paper wet, while sanding ......you can block it ...but I've found by hand usually works the best, and only sand in ONE direction.......you can also go with 2000 grit ..which I use frequently as well, especially on Black vehicles....
Remember to ONLY use 3M Perfect-it II or Perfect-it III for bringing the shine back, after wet sanding the scratches out......then follow with a glaze and or polish to protect the area........

HAHAHA!!! I tried to explain that to her but she wasn't buying it. It does still look brand new though with the shiny black paint and all, even though its an 01' with 110k on it! Once I buy her a new car and the truck is officially mine then it will be AWN!! SAS and all!
So by ONE direction you mean not back and forth? Or just not circular? And I guess my little kragens electic buffer wont work too well if I need to run 700rpms eh?
Thanks a lot for your help man. I guess I should get a little more serious so I can play with cars like that!!!

Defiantely not circular as you sand ......it'll have to be circular when you buff.......since thats how buffers work.....wet sand back and forth with little or no pressure, and once again keep the paper wet.As far as not going more than one direction means .......don't sand one way , back and forth, and then sand back and forth perpendicular to the original sanding.......like with wood that would be called sanding against the grain......hopefully that makes sense
as far as your kragens buffer.......is it an orbital or a high speed buffer ? if it's an orbital .......it won't work.....if it's the latter ...and it's not adjustable , just be careful and use very little if any pad pressure, and watch the Perfect-it II work the sanding back out .........you'll see once you sand the paint ...that it totally dulls the shine,..... what you are doing with the compound ( Perfect-it II) is bringing the shine back...hopefully without the scratch present ....if it's still there , repeat the steps until it's gone .......make sure you don't sand to far past the clear coat......that , you have to have an eye for ......practice on an old car you don't care about to get the hang of it ..........also make sure you don't burn the paint with the buffer bringing the shine back....let the compound do the work........you'll know if you watch it carefully enough when to stop and either wet sand some more or it needs some more compound......
