Scratch Removel
My White Maxima had a scrap from the driver side door to the rear bumper.(From a driveway light) Neways, I bought 3M Body Repair Rubbing Compound fine cut, and tryed it out. It work so well, with some buffing it came right out. It was cheap, easy and fast. You can't even tell it was there. It also worked on the scatches under the door handle. Any one else have this stuff or try others like it?

That Color Cure stuff I've heard is like putting some crayon into the scratch, and only temporarily stays. Oh well, whatever works, right?
I think I'll give that 3M Body Repair stuff a try. If it can get a scratch out like you say...
even though I'm skeptical about this, it's worth a try.

It no longer looks like that when touched up or had body work done, so we have to live with some scratches and dings.
