awesome! Please provide more details as to what products you used, if they are readily available and did you put in the elbow grease or use a machine to polish?

I listed the tools and product used in the original post. The machine is the Porter Cable XP (PCXP) I used 4" pads on the spoiler but normally use 5.5" pads when correcting a whole vehicle. You can get all of this stuff and more at https://detailersdomain.com/ , they are also a forum sponsor.

As far as repairing a scratch, it depends on how deep it is. You probably won't be able to fully fix the scratch if you can run a finger nail perpendicular over the scratch and can feel it. It'll look a lot better but not perfect.

thank you, that's some great work, i read somehwere that if you do not use the machine in a proper manner or add too much pressure you can actually do more harm than good?
