  • This weekend's scratch repair detail: 2005 Chevy Colorado

    This detail was mainly for the scratch repair on the rear bumper and quarter panels.

    Here's some photos in before/after fashion:


    This was from someone backing out of an adjacent parking spot...



    Look at all those tiny scratches! What a pain!



    And after a little buffing using #80 via rotary @ 1500...



    NICE! Not only are the scratches gone, but look at that optical clarity!



    There are some very fine indentations that remain, can you see them?



    Ok next scratch:

    People would probably think these little dings can't be helped..



    ...but they can be:



    Looks nice!



    And we're left with a clean truck:



    He paid for the scratch removal.

    I did his tires, wheels, wheel wells, and washed the rest of the truck...free of charge.

          Please describe your process for removing the scratches. Was it done with a PC and #83?

            Wow, nice job. The third picture down looks like you just took a picture of the pole. But please tell us your procedure.

                      Nice work. How long did it take? What camera are you using?

                          Thanks everyone!

                          This truck took me only about 1 hour for the scratches and other small things (parking decal removal)

                          I am shooting with a Sony F-828, I want to replace this with a Canon Rebel XTi SLR soon
