I was reading socol's thread about being keyed and it had mention of polishing compounds. I am ignorant to anything but good old fashioned rubbing compound but I think that's way more than I need, at least from my memory of using it in the past on car paint.
I was planning to ask you guys anyway so now seems like a good time for maybe a step by step and product info for buffing out minor scratches.
Mrs B unknowingly let the cord from her headset rub on her tank (2009 Sporty) one of the days we were in Alabama and there are very fine scratches along a 4 inch long by 2 inch wide area. You can't "feel" them so it's only in the topcoat? assuming there is a top coat now a days?
What products to use? Anything specific because it's an '09? Two or three different products to work it back to the point of wax? Power buffing or hand-job <---LOL Lightly do the entire tank after the scratches are gone to blend? I don't like that question cause I hope there is something to buff it out without changing the look.
Help!!
