Hot do you remove light scratches ?

[PJ267]

Have some light scratches (swirls)on my gas tank that I wanted to remove, only can seen it in the sun. I have tried waxing and they are still there. Can I remove them at home or do I need to get a buffer or get it done professionaly? Thanks

Try using a clay-bar, and then polish and wax it. If that doesn't work, you can try a nice (safe) buffer, I like the step 1,2,3 systems from Meguiars and Mothers, and I have a Porter & Cable buffer that Meguiars puts their name/warranty on. If you are in the CT area, stop by and i'll help you out.

I have some meguiers "scratch out". It is like wax and works well on dark blue.

I would go with turbo's suggestion.

I just used that meguires clay bar system for the 1st time on some light scratches on my tank. It came out like a showroom finish, I was amazed, so I did my truck too. It leaves the finish as smooth as buddah.

I detailed many cars/trucks, and there's TONS of great products out there.. but this stuff I continue to use for a reason. They work!

Dumd question....what's the difference between polish, and wax ? Is one for shine, and the other for protection ? Do you use both, at the same time ?

Polish shines
Wax protects

Polish first, then wax.
