Scratch repair

[joey_ed27]

Miscalculated a turn yesterday at a cramped parking lot. Nadikitan ko isang van. Really pissed na binyagan agad monty ko.

Kaya kaya ng rubbing compound ito?
Wala namang dent. Although nakakapa ko yun scratch.

Where can i bring this for a quick fix? Kahit pa kasi rubbing compound lang Id rather someone na talagang marunong. Baka lalong sumablay pag ako.

Thanks

What happened to the van? Kayang kaya mo i rubbing yan. Alalay ka lang na hindi mag fade yung paint mo.

The van never knew what hit him... LOL

Seriously the van was pretty much beat up already. I think i just touched the van's rear bumper.

Ano ba ok na rubbing compound?

I just use the Turtle wax rubbing compound we've had since I was in high school

Normally I use polishing compound instead of rubbing compound so it's less harsh on the paint. Pag hindi nakuha, that's when I use rubbing compound.

I used rubbing compound recently on my car and it took out most of the paint transfer. It was white paint too, very similar to your Monty.

agree with cathy, use first the less abrasive polish then if its not effective that's the time you use a compound. careful though in using a compound, it can easily remove scratches but it digs in your clear coat. if you are using by hand, limit the area where you apply it around the scratch area. after compounding, do polishing with the less aggressive or light polish to remove marring cause by the compound. wash the area and dry, wipe it with mf cloth damp with ipa (alcohol) to remove the compound/polish then apply a good carnauba wax or sealant for protection.

Bro montygtv i bought a 3m scrstch remover and a 3m rubbing compound last night.
You mean after the remover, wipe then compund, wipe clean with alcohol (any alcohol ba). Is there a logic if after the compound gas ang ipunas? (I saw our driver doing this dati)

Use the scratch remover first. If it does not work, then that is the only time you use the rubbing compound.

Rubbing compound is abrasive kasi so it should be your last option. If you overdo the compound like monty_GTV mentioned, it can damage your clearcoat. I did it once and the paint became dull or faded.

I mean I-try mo muna scratch remover, if kaya matanggal yung scratch then use it till matanggal ang gasgas. if di kaya matanggal, then saka mo gamitan ng rubbing compound. mas magaspang kasi ang rubbing compound, parang pinong liha na yan eh. after mo ma rubbing compound at hoping wala na gasgas, pasadahan mo ulit nung scratch remover para maalis yung pinong kain ng rubbing compound. you wash the area and wipe it with isopropyl alcohol para matanggal yung compound at scratch remover, para paglagay mo ng wax or sealant, maganda kapit sa paint. I don't see any logic sa pagpunas ng gas sira pintura mo niyan sir. better to have carnauba wax or sealant.

Thanks guys. Will update you once magawa ko. Crossing my fingers makuha sa scratch remover palang.

Nagkaganyan na sakin dati behind the rear wheel din. Nasagi ng gf ko sa pader. Sakto madumi yung car dinala ko na lang sa car wash tapos pinakita ko yung gasgas pinolish lang nila kaso natuklap talaga pintura nung ibang part kaya nilagyan ko din ng touch up paint. Wala naman din extra fee na siningil sakin.




My part na magaspang parin dyan saka halata na iba kulay sa malapitan. Pero ilang weeks naman na din nakalipas di ko na pinapansin din hehe.

is that a plastic part of the fender?..just be extra careful using a rubbing compound..iba ang kapit ng paint sa plastic compared sa metal
