So, while I was washing and polishing the car last nite....I noticed some light scratches and stuff.

I have some of 3M Swirl mark remover, but I haven't used it before...What's the best way to use this stuff without making the scratches worse than they are? No Porter Cable for me...Gotta be by hand...

Thanks.

I always go with Dave's recommendation of a belt sander myself. Works great on BB! :)

Ok, it can't make BB look any worse than mine already looks. lol

I found that the directions on the side of the bottle worked for me.

It's really the best way to go. BTW, I have a good picture of the damage to your front end..

post it for everyone to see. I don't know if I ever posted at pics of it.

I need to take the nose off the car and fix that, not gonna bother with body work as I don't think it will be visible.

I would take a Sawz-All to it, cut off the scratched panels and

replace them with new ones

That's kind of like the one where you smash someone's foot to make them...

...forget about the pain in their arm.

Not as efficient and take too long. please follow Dave's advice, it is tested by various labs

around the world and I believe he is getting the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval later in the summer. What more can you ask for than that?

Tuv is testing currently as well as the US Army and Emil is trying to convince NASA to try it on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.

Dave did say that Consumer Reports wanted Dave to be more specific in his make/model recommendations of belt sanders, but Dave being Dave told them to kiss off, so he won't be able to get CR approval. No biggie as who listens to them anyway? lol
