Yeah, I`m new to this stuff, taking it seriously at least. I`ve been reading threads for awhile and yes, I`ve read the "Repairing Scratches" article in the Learn section. I just bought a 2001 Chrysler LHS with the deep garnet red pearl coat. I itching to give it a proper shine and have picked up a supply of wash, polish, wax products I`ve seen recommended here. But first things first, I have one fender with a series of small scratches I need to deal with. I do have some touch-up paint, but I live in a small town and don`t have access to some of the stuff mentioned in the Repairing Scratches article, mainly the Mequiar`s Unigrit Sanding Block. Several of the small scratches are down through the red, showing a bit of the white underrneath. I`ll admit, I`m a bit intimidated with getting this done right. I`m also impatient enough that I`d rather not sit around waiting for mail delivery of products. Can I fix these scratches with a mix and match of wet/dry sandpaper, ScratchX, and polishing compound to "pretty up" my paint touch-ups?
BTW, for buffing later, I`m searching for a foam pad for my trusty old Bosch 3283 random orbit. All I have right now is the pseudo-wool pad. I`d hoped that would do the job, but fortunately I did enough reading here to understand I really need to stick to foam.
