SCRATCH REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 2000 grit paper is the nest grit available (the higher the number, the ner 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.
4. If all of the scratches can't be removed with 1500 grit, switch to 1000 grit. This should
remove most ne scratches. If you have deep scratches or a gouge, coarser paper may have
to be used (see chart to right). Be careful! Using grit that is too coarse may actually put in more
scratches than it removes.
5. Once you have removed all of the scratches, by sanding with the nest paper possible,
repeat the sanding process using successively ner grits of paper until you've once again
sanded with 2000 grit.
6. Now use 3M® rubbing compound #05933 on a soft, damp cloth. Polish using
considerable pressure to produce a smooth, shinny nish.
