Fine "gasgas" on my lower door panels

[nurse_corrupted]

Napansin lang ng brother in law ko this afternoon and he brought it to my attention. Dun sa passenger side doors ng yaris ko dun sa lower panel niya ay may mga fine na gasgas. Some of them malalaki sa iba. Napansin ko sa gilid lang na ito at wala sa front and rear bumper ko. Wala din sa driver side.

I was aghast talaga dahil inaalagaan ko ang kotse. Tapos ang dami na pino na gasgas. Para bang niliha lightly ang lower panel doors to produce those fine scratches. Tinry ko punasan pero di mawala (desperate move).

Can anyone help me on this one? Do I need to go to a shop? Or but a rubber compound instead and hit it. I own a metallic silver toyota yaris.

TIA.

after waxing mawala yan pero malamang pag nag wear off na ang wax babalik ang scratches...better to have it buffed out professionaly..

That happened to my brand new car. Pinabayaan ko lang muna. After a year, saka ko ipapaayos.

Waxing does NOT remove scratches... It never does and was never created to do so.

Depending on the severity of the scratch, it can:

a) Be made less visible by a consumer grade scratch remover/polish by rounding off the edges of the scratch.
b) Buffed/polished off with a pro-grade polish or compound with the appropriate combination of pads and techniques.

try turtle wax na may kulay that matches the color of you car.. it might help

[theveed]

No it won't.

Colorsticks only work on NON CLEARCOATED paint, and in addition, it only masks the scratch until it washes off eventually.

lahat ng brand new cars ngayon puro clearcoat na?

Ano pala tawag sa hindi clearcoat na paint?

[theveed]

Almost all cars from early 90s are clear coated. Some paints have clearcoats pre-mixed into the pigment but they're still clear coated paint.

Usually tagged as single or double-coated paint

As with all scratch removers go with the mildest first, then use more aggressive compounds if it doesn't buff off. I would highly recommend Meguiar's Scratch X as a first step. If this does not help, use it once more but with more force. If this still does not take the scratches out, go with a mild rubbing compound.

Just be careful with the terms waxing because waxing purely refers to the application of protective waxes (natural or polymer based) that has no abrasive properties, only protective. It covers it in some sort of "sun tan lotion" kumbaga, to protect the paint.

Swirl or scratch removers are fine abrasives, a bit like lotion with very, very fine sandpaper quality that you will not feel with your fingers, but will work on the paint. The key is to rub them in firmly, with good pressure. When you do this, you eliminate a bit of the top coat of paint to "even off" the paint where the scratch existed. It eliminates scratches by smoothing out the edges of the scratch at the microscopic level, making it disappear that way.

i'd recommend this too. i used this on our pearl white mica civic and i was mighty relieved and satisfied. a little application of Meguiar's Scratch X plus a lot of elbow grease did wonders for the affected portions of the paint. the only hitch though is its relatively steep price, but of course, it paid itself off in the end, making the cost well worth its price

Nasira ang adaptor ng laptop so di ako nakapag post ngayon gumagana na naman.

Yung before, sa sobrang dami nga ng fine scratches parang niliha namumuti yung lower door panel ko. Nung after ako nag apply ng wax, di na siya namumuti na obvious. But upon closer inspection, nandun pa rin halos ang 60 - 70 percent of the scratches. So tama nga ang sabi ni sir theveed that it would not remove the scratches per se.

Eto marumi na naman ang kotse dahil umulan. Hindi siya obvious

Now with buffing, magkano kaya to if I go to the shops. And how much is that scratch X by meguire?

Salamat mga bro.
