Default Car Show

I haven't polished it at all yet. I used a little mothers scratch remover on it and it did help, but not all together.

I'm open to what to try and polish with? I have a car show next week that this just makes me cry.


Where's the car show location?

Here are the results of that.




So I worked on it for a while it looks so much better already, but this is the best I can get it. Looks like i need a new paint job now.


I discovered a new product that works great on 1200 grit or finer scratches, it's from Meguirar called Mirror Glaze 105 "Professional Ultra-Cut Compound". I purchased this at Auto Body Supply Company on Kossuth St in Lafayette. I've used it with great success on the hood of our black 96 coupe. I hope this helps
