Vehicle are manufactured with exterior finishes comprised of a variety of layers: primer, colored paint, and a final very thin top layer known as the clear coat. The 3M Scratch Removal System is designed to remove defects to the clear coat with the added aid of a user supplied household drill. Examples of repairable defects that the 3M Scratch Removal System is able to easily repair include fine scratches from automatic car wash brushes, vegetation scrapes, etc. Common areas in need of this sort of repair are the area around the door handle or the trunk just to name a few.
How Does it Work
The 3M Scratch Removal System is based in a simple 3-tiered approach to scratch removal: sanding using the included 3000 grit sandpaper to reduce the scratch, application of 3M rubbing compound and refining of the scratch area, and finally polishing and restoring the scratch area using a 3M polishing pad, scratch remover compound and a common household drill. An additional recommended step is to apply automotive wax in the repaired area to protect the car's finish, since you have removed an area of its clear coat. When removing a defect in the paint surface, you are actually removing a very thin layer of the clear coat paint. This procedure is commonly performed by professional technicians in automotive collision shops, car dealerships, detail shops, and assembly plants for high dollar amounts. Now, you can do it yourself for a fraction of the cost.
