Hey All

I have just started detainling my 09 ViVi. I have just finished doing the liquid glass pre-cleaner thing. I noticed a lot of scratching/streaking? It seems like there is a lot more now after using the pre-cleaner.

 

I am wondering if I should do this again to try to get the scratches out? I am using the liquid glass applicator and micro fiber cloth to buff with.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get these scratches out? I am guessing that if I just wax over them then they will be there forever?

Thanks All

Only way to remove scratches is with polish. Most polishes require a machine to do the job right. Anyone who would like to keep their stuff nice should at least have an orbital polisher. Cyclo, Porter Cable, or what I have, a Flex. They work wonders with the right pad and polish and you have to go out of your way to burn the paint.

I noticed some minor Clear Coat scratches when I did my first actual wax detail job. I found a series of products from Meguiar's (Deep Crystal Series). I think I got it from O'Reilly's Auto Parts.

I started with their Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner and it removed all small surface scratches in the clear coat, then followed up with the other series products including wax and got a great shine.

Not sure if the Paint Cleaner would help after applying the Liquid Glass but it would be worth a try unless you found another way to handle it.
