What is the best way to remove scratches from light sanding? I accidently sanded my front bumper with light grit sand paper, and now the paint is fuzzy and cloudy. Is there a solution or wax that I can buff this out with? I tried invisible glass () but nothing.

OKAY I KNOW THE PIC IS BAD AND CAN'T REALLY SEE ANYTHING, BUT I WILL GET A BETTER PIC TOMORROW. YOU CAN SEE MY FAIL'S NOW.

 

What grit? Try 2000grit and then buff/polish.

 

You were sanding your bumper for what??? Pic's would help with how bad it is?

 

I forgot the gritt. Like 600 or 700. Dunno. But Will those three spots that I did it will be removed with wax? Or do I have to buy that pink wax?

My bad. I took off my license plate, and I used jack's how to to fill those holes up. So I was sanding off the left over material to make it flush, and got carried away. It's basically about half a inch around the holes. I have pics. Give me a sec

 

Geez man! Anything under 1500grit on paint is a no-no usually. Pics would help, if it's bad, it might need wetsanded and re-cleared or if you're into primer new paint. Wax will not remove those.

 

Did you remove the paint, or just clear? Most likely you will need to do a rubbing compound and polishing compound to buff out the scratches, followed by a wax and sealant!

 

I didn't remove the paint. It's just cloudy now.

 

try doing a wetsanding on it... with a VERY HIGH grit sandpaper! And then a polishing compound!

 

I can buy the polishing compound at any autostore!?

But why am I wet sanding it more? What is the purpose of this?

 

takes those medium grit scratches making them finer... and then yes you can buy the polishing compound and rubbing compound at most auto parts stores.

 

Before you do it, read and watch vids. Practice on some paint nobody really sees if needed.

Thanks guys. I saw this on you tube, trying to get more advice/tutorials and saw this.

Do you guys think this is a good way to go?

Well what you have is well beyond a "scratch" you need something a bit more abrasive than that. Like rubbing compound, and polishing compound!

 

Oh okay. Thanks.

Why are you yelling at me?

 

I didn't yell....

 

Matts just hungry.

 

And brad likes the ****!

 

^^^^ Looks like bullet holes.

Don't lie you where in a shoot out! j/p

That sucks thou.

 

Thats how we do it up in H-Town.

Yeah, im going to try compound and see if that works.

 

use really high grit sand paper, and then buff, polish wax and you should be good

 

You finally got the hideaway license plate?

 

na, not yet. I was just preparing it, because I was bored.

I should be getting it this week though. Hopefully. It was free shipping so it's going to take longer.

 

Can't wait to see it. Seeing how yours look will make my decision. So make it look good. LOL

 

Great! Just added pressure.
