Re: [vintagvw] Rubbing Compound Suggestion
I've used Turtlewax Rubbing Compound with great success. I suggest buying the smallest pack they sell. Get the one designed for clear coat paints - Original Message - From: Mike Morehouse To: vintagvw@lists.sjsu.edu Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 9:18 PM Subject: [vintagvw] Rubbing Compound Suggestion This is not a VW question but maybe there's some help out there. I brushed a red shopping cart rack at Lowes with my 2006 Silverado truck. No dent or apparent penetration of the clearcoat or paint but even after I washed it real good and took some car polish i had to it; i can still see trace of orange/red that seems to be in the clear coat. Can anyone recommend any products to try to get this off before I take it to a body shop to see how much they would charge to get it out and reclearcoat it. It's down low but i still notice it. Surface is smooth to touch but discoloration is still there. thanks, Mike in AL In Christ and Christ alone, MIKE MOREHOUSE Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2nd Corinthians 5:17 ___ vintagvw site list vintagvw@lists.sjsu.edu http://lists.sjsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vintagvw ___ vintagvw site list vintagvw@lists.sjsu.edu http://lists.sjsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vintagvw

Mike, Toothpaste! Gently! or some of the stuff they sell call scratch out. Just repolish it afterwards. Toothpaste work pretty well for all sorts of gentle polishing.
