What to do with this spot?

[bradleyheathhay]

Not realizing what I was doing I burned the crap out of my paint job trying to remove some vehicle lettering with a drill and an eraser wheel.

The bad spot is the round patch right in the middle. The upper right is just a reflection of clouds. This was once a police car that got a cheap paint job when it was converted into a cab. It`s been dinged a little bit so I`m not looking for anything close to perfection.

My plan is to do a DIY ceramic treatment, but before I do I`d like to see what I can do about this spot. As I don`t have a buffer is there any kind of hand treatment I can do to improve this spot that`s compatible with a ceramic coating? From what little I`ve read so far was might not agree too well with a ceramic coating.

Second question is .. what`s a good DIY ceramic product? I don`t want the cheapest, but I`m not into spending a lot of money either.

Thanks

Go to AutoZone or WalMart and get some Meguiar`s Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish and some microfiber applicators and rub that up a little bit and see what happens. Start with the polish and see if that works before going to the compound (least aggressive first).

Right on thanks for the instruction. The wheel didn`t get into the blue so at least I`ve got that on my side. It`s good to know there`s a relatively simple fix for this.

Could you recommend any of the DIY ceramic products?

Well, I didn`t say that would fix it, just that`s what I would try if I were in your position. There are lots of ceramic coatings, Optimum Gloss-Coat is considered easy to use, as well as CQuartz UK. There`s also some spray ones, I`m just not versed well enough with them to recommend.
