Paint and or buffing

Paint and or buffing

Postby Whoa Silverado [OP] » Jan 31 2012, 5:08pm

Hi,
I went and washed my truck yesterday. And I got home and noticed a good section of my trucks hood has a good size scuff/multi scratches on it :x

Kind of like there was a box or something on my hood and got slid off and not picked up. Not Done By Me. I can post a pic if need be, but how can I get this out? Does it matter how deep the scuffs are? They don't look like they went to primer but enough to say, WHAT!.

Thanks for any input on this subject. I also have a orbital buffer if it can help.

Thanks again for any help.

My bet is that a good wax job and some buffing will help that a lot. Doesn't look like it's very deep at all.

I agree, it looks like you should be able to buff it out.

Hay Holland. I got a buffer and some elbow grease for the spring. Thanks for the offer though. Welcome to the site.
