Malaysia Car detaling guru - Key scratchs and apint correction

For U create my inmost being & U knitted me in my mothers wombI am fearfully & wonderfully make


I receive a distress call & message

My buddy Ray could not rest, as he found out that there is 3 part of his ride was severely KEY scratched

I always mentioned this - in My clinic or meeting with any enthusiast..... 2nd most damage is birds pool although you cant avoid but you can minimized.......BUT however not KEY SCRATCHs!!!!!


the last time someone did it to our car - i couldn't sleep for 2 weeks, what a night mare of losing my factory baked paint...

from
Left side passenger door (1st scratch)


after spot polish & compound

Visible trails of scratches is seen as it is too deep to be leveled

moving on
left front panel above the wheels
after a gentle polish


visible depth is still seen


a deeper compound was use to even out the surrounding areas



ta da



Last part Front bumper


polish with OPT Hyper spray Polish


TADA



PREVENTION is always better than CURE!!!! by all means find a proper parking & dont park at our convenience at others inconveniences!! otherwise 'the Teach you a lesson' * will abuse your investment

Factory paint is still the far best !!!! Don't Repaint Panels to Cover Scratches!! Don't touch the paint! as collectors wants to do a restoration he's going to do it his way and not our attempts to repair!!

many painter tries to achieve a factory original paint job but, as it is baked under around 1,500 degrees to a rock hard finish.


Cars Collectors will pay you far above book value for your car the authenticity of your ride


Have a great weekend

    Nice save. Too bad cars don't have built in weaponized defense systems, especially with the cost of some of these newer vehicles out today.

{Note: There has been a couple of horror stories of vehicles being keyed on this forum lately.....Along with suggestions on what to do to the "keying-culprits" if caught!}


You're correct about the importance of vehicle authenticity. I've noticed the value of Unrestored Originals have risen to the heights, and beyond in some instances, of many restored classics lately.......Even being recognized as a 'Class' for Bloomington judging of Corvettes.

Excellent work on removing/lessening the blemishes on the keyed areas of the vehicle in your thread!

Dang!!! Great work KC. The first one is still a major improvement even though it is barely visible.
