Got a bad scratch!

It looks like someone keyed an underline under the back 'maxima' and 'se' letters!

Any good ideas on the best way to clean it up? I have a Majestic Blue 2k2.

HELP!

lol....he obviously copied it from another post.... probably my old one where I copied it from their website.

That stuff works wonders as long as it is not all the way through to the metal. Surface scratches and rock chips- GONE.

Does it permanently fix the problem or does it wash away the next time you wash your car? I was thinking about using this product for my Max.

Can you the scratch catch your fingernail when you rub it? If so, it would be too deep to consider using a rubbing compound on. If the scratch lightly catches or cannot catch it, you can use a rubbing compound on it to get it out. Many peeps use Meguiar's Scratch X or 3M's Finesse It II.

It doesn't wash away unless you scrub the hell out of it. I was really skeptical, but for $6, I said why not. Yes, Mal Mart has them.

Worked like a charm for my white car. I don't know about black, etc....

From my experience, Maguiar's Scratch X does hide the scratch(es) but next time you wash your car, the scratch(es) reappear again. It's something you have to apply every time your wash/wax your car.

I think I'll try the Color Cure stuff....

I am not the slightest bit surprised. But I am not too far off from your required standard of cleanliness........

BTW- Not too impressed with the Target Auto section. Not a great selection. Pep Boys rocks....
