Finally got a little courage to do some detailing today. I got this "scratch" a couple of hours after I got the car from the casa, 16 hours to be exact and it was a hit and run. Good thing I didn't panic and was able to get their whole plate number, color, brand and car model so 2 hours later they were tracked down. We met and their insurance company agree to pay to have the whole part replaced(good or bad idea?). Two months on, I still haven't gotten the time to have the rear bumper replaced due to my busy schedule and today genius struck. I was thinking why not practice on my rear bumper as it wouldn't matter if I screw up as it would get replaced anyways. So this is what two hours or rubbing yielded me. I used mothers scratch remover to slowly rub out the gash. I wonder how much clear coat I took off, any ideas?

Aside from those three deep scratch, parang walang nangyari ah. Papalitan pa kaya yan??

Well if you didn't put a lot of pressure in removing the scratches, pretty much only a very minimal clearcoat has been abraded.

Very minimal lang yan sir. Pero yung natirang black part, I suppose the paint has been chipped off, kasi yung black na yun, yun na mismo yung plastic bumper. Yung natanggal nyo naman using your polish, paint transfer lang yun (black ang nakabangga sa inyo?).

EDIT: OT, sir pwede nyo rin ata kasuhan yung nakabangga sa inyo since it was a hit and run.

[Starex_Gold]

Oo pwedeng kasuhan yan. Walang hiya siya.

Pareho pa kami ng Santa Fe

Anyway, kung ganyan nalang kaliit ang damage, pwede na yung repaint ng whole bumper. Pero kung may dent, mas ok kung palitan na talaga.

OT.

There are still a few deep scratches that are not visible in the picture sir. Papalitan yan nila since nasa casa na yung part about a month ago pa.

Yes sir the paint is chipped po. Black nga po yung nakabangga, kapatid ni Santa fe si Sorento.

Hindi ko na po kinasuhan since they were really sorry na hindi daw namalayan na nabangga na. The offered to have it changed naman and sabi if their insurance won't shoulder it, they will. Maayos naman po kausap and they didn't deny it, they were very sincere.

Yun nga po sir e, I want the whole part replaced. But I'm a bit scared of overspay as they would still have to paint the part to match the car. What do you think?

double post...

[rico_g]

Thank you very much guys for all the tips. A special thank you to rico_g for that long and very informative post. I sure have much to learn.

Question is, do I have to do this all at once? sounds like a lot of work that could take a day to complete. Also, is it okay to layer waxes? like nanoglos then collinite then mothers step 3. do I have to wait a certain number of hours for them to dry or I can do it all in one go?

happy to help sir! lahat naman dito helpful, we all came from being noobs

just perform the whole set every 6 months...

every 2months ung Moms Step 2/Nano Gloss, Step 3, Sliq

every week ok na step 3 and sliq

also use the Spray wax in between washing para pwede mo ma stretch out ung detailing intervals mo.

also, ung tires and glass, pwedeng separate session... it's what i do... and ung glass detailing, kahit every 6 months lang din. Super aprub ung rain clear.... you'll enjoy driving in the rainy days from 40-60kph and watch the rain beads on yur windshield...

actually muntik na ko mabangga kakapanood ng beading sa rain clear... kaaliw kasi..

also... have fun! happy detailing!
