I fiiguered I would give my keyed hood another try with Menzerna.



I had touched up the scratch a bit wher eit went very deep. With Metalic colors it is pretty much impossible to get the perfect match.



Here is a before pic with the touch up paint:

Here is the after with Menzerna Intensive Polish applied with a 4" polishing pad at firts on 3 and then moved to 6.

The result:

on some spots the scratch is almost completely gone, you really have to look for it, but as you can see in the above picture, which was pretty bad, Menzerna was able to "smooth " out the scratch. It cut the clear coat pretty good, but, because the scratch was so deep where the color underneath is different, the scratch is still visible.



Overall a great product, but not for keyed cars. I dont think there is any cure for that except a repaint. :laugh:
 
PG should minimize even more or take away the tail of that scratch. Do you have any PG?



how about wetsanding the deeper scratch?



i'm looking at doing something similar (wetsanding) in the next week or so for the first time. Its a family member's car.
 
I dont have any PG an dyou got ot update me what it is, since the acronyms sometimes screw me up if I dont visit the site daily. ahhaha



Honestly, Menzerna did such a great job that I think wetsanding might be the next thing, but I dont know if I am willing to do that.



YOu cannot even feel anything around that scratch. It has been made extremely even and smooth, but the metallic flakes have been disturbed so thats why it loos more like it is gray. there is no rescuing from that.
