A little trick

[89Firebird]

My Dad showed me this. If you take a peice of chaulk that is the same color or nearly the same color as ur car and grind it up into liquid wax, it will fill in minor scratches. It will wash out after a few washes though.

touch up paint works good too and lasts through washes better.

that's all those miracle scatch filling waxes are, the problem with touch up paint is you can always see a line where it was applied (unless your really good)

[meissen]

Man, that's an AWESOME trick. I should try it on my dad's car and say that it's the miracle wax that he was looking for.

[97rs4life]

yea I was just messing, it is a good trick in case you have a show or something and need it quick, but not needed to last.

[meissen]

yeah

yeah, my dad's porsche has the clear coat like... breaking down, it's all cracking on it's own cause it's so thin, atleast that's what some body shop said. So doing this to tease him into thinking it was fixed should be a good laugh.

[archemedes]

the body shop was full of it, it's cracking because it wasn't cared for properly (I bet turtle wax has been used on it) what happened is it didn't get enough air and got brittle, needs to be stripped to fix it right

[meissen]

yeah, well I guess the clear coat is REALLY thin on his car for whatever reason, I was thinking about trying some of that menzerna intensive polish on it with a buffer and see what happens, but I don't want to go through the clearcoat if it's really really thin.

[archemedes]

once it cracks it can't be fixed without stripping

[meissen]

Hmph... FINE! Atleast Kyle can paint.

I'm learning to paint too. After I wrecked my blazer, I did all of the body work myself. Even shot a couple of coats of primer. I'm relatively good with an airbrush, but I still need some improvement.

If you want to fill in a scratch reall good use a syringe with paint in it to inject it into deep scratches. In fact, they sell kits on the internet for it.

Bull. Chuck could fix it.
