Thread: Detailers or Whoever Can

  1. #1

    Default Detailers or Whoever Can

    I need help. I bought a JDM Type S hood...and theres double sided tape and fine scratch marks everywhere. I need to know a place where to get this fixed. If you can do it Ill buy you lunch and 20 bucks.

    And not Mcdonald. I hate taht **** so well hop by like Taco Mac or wherever you feel like but nothing like a 60 dollar steak or anyhting like that.

    hey man, its not worth all that for someone to do, go to local pepboys and look for a bottle of 3M COMPOUND-Use a rag if u dont have a buffer.may have to go over it a few times by hand with pressure.that will get the scratches , but if its a black hood it will leave it a dull look,so use any waxs/polishes u want.and there ya go-No more scratches.

    for the double sided tape,use any kind of gunk remover-we use 3M adhesive remover,then of course the ^^ compound-wax step again.

    im a detailer for Absolute autobody/progressive. so I know what im talking about. Good luck!

    Like i said itl be easier if you have a buffing wheel.but u can do it by hand but itl take longer and more work,but cheaper then lunch and 20$..but if u dont wnt to do it urself im sure sum1 will come do..best of luck

    oh, well if it helps-the 3M adhesive remover,is in a red/white square can,and the Compound is in a black bottle with compound writtin in white letters.
    its kinda helpful knowing what things look like if you dk what ur looking for.lol


    the compound should be around the detaling section of the store waxes,ect..im not sure bout the adhisive remover.maybe around the bondo and stuff?

    3M Adhesive remover. And just get a decent rubbing compound.
    If its that bad, you may want to try a very very light wet sand.
