#988450 KitsapRider (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 62 Kids are great, aren't they? 1 Year, 5 Months ago   So, I turned my back on my 5 year old while in the garage and he did this with a sponge sanding block Side cover and rear fender. Its only a year old and has no other blemishes. I know its not big but I'm the type of person that the details bother me especially on something I own. My wife said it was my fault for not using my cover. She and my son are not allowed in the garage for now. Anyways, I tried some mild rubbing compound but I don't think this is buffing out. Any ideas? Learn to live with it?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #988454 Mikerunsjax (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1843 Re:Kids are great, aren't they? 1 Year, 5 Months ago   Kids that age are going to make mistakes, try not to be too hard on him. But, I would get it fixed, you don't want it as a reminder that will keep you upset. Pay to have it fixed, and move on. A life lesson for both of you.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #988455 Warden (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 9535 Re:Kids are great, aren't they? 1 Year, 5 Months ago   2000 wet/dry sandpaper. Use a sponge block and finely sand the areas. Then, use 3M #2 compound with a soft polisher. Wipe, and then use 3M #1 polish. Should be good as new. I am citing this from memory. Do a little research on sand and polishing a paint job.   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/10/01 19:07 By Warden.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #988456 KitsapRider (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 62 Re:Kids are great, aren't they? 1 Year, 5 Months ago   Thanks for the quick replies. Honestly I don't trust myself to do this as I tried buffing out some stuffing on my truck and it was even more noticeable (cloudy). If hate to think how much it will cost for someone else to do it, especially when that money could be used for other things. I have baby 3 on the way! So, maybe it will take a back seat for now.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #988461 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter!

Just take your time doing it.   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #988480 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 6530 Re:Kids are great, aren't they? 1 Year, 5 Months ago   That does suck... And I can't imagine the Mrs. response helped soften the blow... Just Google, "Polishing out deep scratches". There are tons of videos... Do lots of research and test it on small spots first. You'd be surprised at what can be done.   Logged     It\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s been lots of fun guys... Thank you Gram and catch you all on the other site.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #988489 Father_Pobasturd (User) VENI VIDI VICI Platinum Boarder Posts: 4980 Re:Kids are great, aren't they? 1 Year, 4 Months ago   Be thankful you have a son that is physically capable of doing that.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #988490 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:Kids are great, aren't they? 1 Year, 4 Months ago   Run it by a local body/paint shop and ask them if it is damaged past the clear coat. If it is the only thing that can be done to fix is to re- clear coat it. If not past the clear they may hit it with a buffer in that spot for less than the cost of the compounds to do it yourself.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #988502 painterman67 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 576 Re:Kids are great, aren't they? 1 Year, 4 Months ago   Father_Pobasturd wrote: Be thankful you have a son that is physically capable of doing that.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 6811 Re:Kids are great, aren't they? 1 Year, 4 Months ago   Ouch! As davej said, it will probably sand/buff out.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
