AAAAARGHHH!! Can`t get the scratches out of my brand new Lexus` clock face.

[BluBrett]

I got a 2013 Lexus CT200h last month. It came with dealer installed swirls on the paint, which I`ve chosen to keep until I build some more up myself over the next year or so, but it also came with very light horizontal scratches on the clock/climate control face that were immediately obvious on the gloss black display. I used PlastX, which I have never ever had an issue with, on my softest microfibers to get rid of the dealer-installed scratches. The scratches are gone, but now there are even MORE fine scratches that I can only see when the sun hits it. I`ve tried three different microfibers and now I am at a loss on how to remove them. Picture below showing how it looks with flash:

These are very tough to get perfect. Try some 205 or Menz 85rd to get rid of the finer scratches. Might have to tape everything off and try a tiny pad with a drill.

I can`t quite remember the name of it, but there`s some stuff made just for jobs like this :think: I don`t think it`s a Plexis product..?Novus? or something like that maybe? :nixweiss



Never seem to get around to fixing such things on my vehicles :o

You`ll never get rid of these by hand. You best chance is some type of finishing polish on a machine.

Novus. #1 through #3 might be what you`re thinking of. Im unsure if it can perfectly eliminate all of the defects though. Those surfaces are so tough to correct.

I`m going to be at Crevier Classic Cars (http://www.crevierclassiccars.com/) on Monday, call there, we can talk or better yet, come by and I`ll show you how to handle that. I`m their detailer.

Why can`t you do it by hand? I don`t know from such surfaces, but if you can polish fingernail scratches out of the hardest clearcoats by hand I`d think you could do that job too :think: But again, I never tried it....so school me if I`m off-base here.
