Scratch Correction with PC

[imported_smprince1]

Just wanted to show others that the PC is capable of repairing scratches if you are using 4" pads. This was on the driver side rear door of a black 2004 Toyota Sequoia.

After wash/clay, removed scratch via PC and 4" pads:



SSR3, yellow pad, speed 5-6, X2

SSR2.5, orage pad, speed 5-6, X2

SSR2, green pad, speed 5, X2



Didn`t completely eliminate the scratch, but decided to stop there to save clearcoat. Really only visibile at certain angle/light.



After scratch was removed, finished with VM and OCW.

the PC seems to be capable of great things...for scratches like those i think it is also dependent on the hardness of the clear coat and the, um, "motivation" of the PC user. :)

nice job, and yes the pc is capable of taking care of bad defects as long as you have the right technique, pad selection and polishes/compounds...
