King of the hill

Post by 05baseabyss »

so about three months ago I had 2 goats play king of the hill on my hood. Now I have some very deep scratches and was wondering what would be best to make them disappear. I have tried scratch x and it got most of the little ones out.

Welcome fellow 757 native. I would expect a post like that to coming from Suffolk, not Va Beach. I'm sure that Maguires sells some sort of Goat Off product that Whelan will recommend. Whelan is our resident detailing expert.

Don't worry, Whelan will give some great tips on how to get rid of the scratches. At least your story is funny, my wife scratched my car when she was putting our daughter and her car seat in.

I don't mean to, but its kind of a trick loading in a 2 year old, a diaper bag and misc. other stuff while balancing a cup of coffee . I'm a happy man now that my daughter's able to climb in her seat herself.

I believe the general rule is if you can feel the scratch, it wont come out. So if the scratches are really deep you might want to get some touch up paint and try your best. Or take it to a professional.

Chances are it is the factory "Abyss" paint which does have a light metallic flake to it.
