Hello all,

Not even 2 weeks into ownership of my new S5, and a stubborn scuff mark is driving me insane. It's an ibis white S5 and it isn't super noticeable, but it is to me.

I noticed it after I washed the car. Looks like it could be from some kind of rubber.

I tried claying first and then turtle wax ultra compound (after washing ofcourse), but no go.

I'm by no means an expert and I'm not sure how "rough" I should be with the applicator pad and UC.

Can you guys chime in with any advice?









It's difficult to see in the photo, but hopefully it helps.

Thank you.

you can buff them out.

I got most of it off with elbow grease and the McGuire's (sp?) scratch removal product available at auto stores. I have no idea what does that in the first place. I suspect it may have been the GF's purse, actually.

Thank you both for the advice. After some more UC I managed to get the black mark out, but a light scratch remains in the clear coat. It isn't a deep scratch, but you can definitely feel the uneven-ness.

I know that feeling though. Sorry that happened.

Um, just by chance, do you have a Lacrosee player in the house? When I zoomed in just now it looks like a mark I got on another car after my son 'saved' the door from being hit by a ball.

Haha no lacrosee player, unfortunately a bit of road debris got onto my microfiber wipe and by the time I realized it, it was too late.
