3000 grit wet and dry good for removing scratches ?

As it says thanks guys and no stupid comments needed

Are we talking about scratches in panels ? I find T-cut to work very well on most small scratches,

Yes, but it will dull your paint and if you aren't careful will just make it worse.

On bottom of doors some scratching . If I light sand then cut and seal with wax ?

Why not just cut, polish and wax? If you are not experienced don't sand. You will damage it worse. Why do you keep asking for advice only to ignore what people say?

He doesn't listen ever

I'm listening and thanks for the advice.

When I tackle my scratches and swirls I'll be supervised by an experienced forum member (who is already the recipient of my multiple bribes & gratuities, in advance), with the right tools and materials to hand...

In the meantime, I'm doing touchups, claybarring with detailing spray and practicing hand polishing, so thanks for the T-cut tip.

This has been attempted scratches are deeper than a tough cut

If this is the case take it to someone who is handy with sandpaper and a buffer, as mentioned previously yes you can use 3000 grit for removing scratched but the risk of you stuffing it up is fairly high (and no I am not having a go at you but I would seriously question doing it to my lib and I have done it before, I have also had a friend who is a professional do it for me when I needed it done on one of my cars that had a much better paint job)

Care to share your contact?

Sandpaper can be very touch-and-go if you haven't had experience with it.

It is an absolute last resort for us. Not to say we don't use it, but we build from least aggressive to most aggressive to ensure we are not taking off too much clearcoat and we get the grade of aggressiveness right.

Also remember you will need to buff after sanding. You will need a rotary buffer first to get rid of the sandpaper scratches, then a random orbital to refine the buff and remove holograms from the rotary. You will also need a few different grades of polishes and pads to create the finish.

If you'd like any help, i'm absolutely more than happy to give you a few pointers.

Throw me an email at moonlightdetailing@gmail.com and i'll see if I can help you out.
