For eective scratch removal and polishing, you will need to purchase these items:
1 Sheet 1000 Grit 3M® Wet-Dry sandpaper
1 Sheet 1500 Grit 3M® Wet-Dry sandpaper
1 Sheet 2000 Grit 3M® Wet-Dry sandpaper
1 small container of 3M® Rubbing Compound #05933
These items can be purchased at most auto supply stores that provide supplies to professional paint
and body shops. Call before you go. Not all auto supply stores will have these items.
Start sanding with 2000 grit paper. Use small squares of paper
about 2 x 2 for all sanding and use lots of water. The water serves as
both a lubricant and to prevent residue buildup on the paper.
Residue buildup shortens the eective life of the paper and may scratch
the surface you’re trying to polish.
2000 grit paper is the finest grit available - the higher the number,
the finer the grit. If you can’t remove all of the scratches with 2000 grit,
switch to 1500 grit. Remember to wash the paper frequently with
water as you sand.
If all of the scratches can’t be removed with 1500 grit, switch to 1000 grit.
This should remove most fine scratches. If you have deep scratches or
a gouge, course paper may actually put more scratches than it removes.
Once you have removed all of the scratches by sanding with the finest
paper possible, repeat the sanding process using successively finer grits
of paper until you’ve once again sanded with 2000 grit.
Now use 3M® rubbing compound #05933 on a soft, damp cloth. Polish
using considerable pressure to produce a smooth, shiny finish.
