You could try using a small amount of t-cut,but it also depends on the size of the scratch and where abouts it is on the body work.

It is called protector all. It is made by GMC. It is a teflon based product. It is a nice sealer and scratch remover and wax all in one. I have been using this since we got our blacl Tahoe in 2000. It don't leave streaks either. Just call your local chevy dealers and ask for it. They may sell iot or a simular product at certain auto shops. Call around to ask. I would call a detailer shop if you cannot get any satisfaction anywhere else.

What will happen if I use non-acetone nail polish remover to get rid of super glue on the surface of my car?
Feb 08, 2010 by senaykargaci | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
My dad put super glue on my car, it's blue and it dripped so he decided to wipe it and now it has a veryyyyy small film of super glue that i can't scratch off with a penny, and i will definitely not be using a razor. i heard acetone works, or any type of nail polish remover but the problem is that i don't want it to damage the paint. will it damage the paint? or what are some other non-dangerous solutions?
Non-acetone nail polish remover wont remove the glue anyway. It's the acetone that breaks up the glue. I'd try WD-40, I've heard that with a little elbow grease, it will remove super glue too.
\nn/ rock on!

Is there a gentle car polish that I can use whenever I want as often as I want without any damage?
Nov 05, 2008 by Becca | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I know that car wax causes mild abrasions on the car's surface and so it isn't a good idea to use it too often. My white car looks dirty a lot and I want it to look it's very best at all times. Is there any polish that I could use on a weekly basis? Or even a daily basis? And not cause any damage to the paint and my clear coat?
I appreciate all suggestions!
First of all you should never wax your car while it's dirty. If after washing there is any sign of dull oxidized paint you really should consider the Three Step Mothers Care Wax System. Cleaner, Swirl Remover and follwed up with pure Mothers Carnuba Car Paste Wax.
Pure carnuba paste car wax contains no abresives what so ever. They also last an entire year!

First wash and wax the car.After that just use the quick detailer mist that you can buy anywhere.It is a spray on and will do what you are wanting to do.

removing scouring pad scratches from car surface?
Jun 05, 2008 by Hergest | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I've been a bit of a clot and used what I thought was a non-abrasive scouring pad on the lower parts of my car to remove stubborn road tar spots - unfortuantely it's not until the car's dried that I've realised it WASN'T non-abrasive and of course it's leave nice swirly scratchmarks on the car surface. Are there any car cleaning/polishing products which will cover these up or at least disguise them as far as possible - thanks
Ooooh dear!
Try using a combination of T-Cut, and Wax.
Put the T-Cut on, wait til it dries. Don't wipe it off like it tells you on the bottle, instead, put the wax straight on, leave til it dries and wipe off.
It might need a few applications but you'll definitely see a difference!
Oh, use a lint-free cloth, you don't want little fibres all over!

Would polishing the surface of a car would hide few minor scratches?
Sep 27, 2008 by shankar | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
It depends on the depth of the scratches, what kind of polish you're using, and what kind of cloth you're using. If it's from driving too close to a bush or something, polishing will take it out. If it's from rubbing a wall or another car you're probably not going to hide it. If someone keyed your car you may have some luck hiding that. When you polish it, make sure to do it in bright sunlight so you can see the results.
