    Buffing out scratches....

    does anyone know if body shops will buff out some scratches on my car? because i got some long deep ones that those paint cover up products cant get rid of.

    if so, about how much money would it be to buff out about 10 marks?

    Well, I don't know how much it'll cost, but I can tell you it'd more than likely be cheaper to just buyer your own buffer and do it yourself, cuz some bodyshops are just ridiculous with their estimates.

    you can get a decent buffer for about $50 or $60 I think, then by some scratch remover. I've got a Turtle Wax Polisher that also works as a scratch remover and it works GREAT when I use my buffer.....If u like ur car being clean and shiny, a buffer is definitely a worthwhile purchase

    If your actually missing paint, they wont come out. If they are just surface scrathes, a high speed should take care of them. Look to spend $60-$80 for a decent high speed detail

    Uh, depending on how bad the scratches are, a PC wont get them out. It doesnt build up heat, and cant buff much out.

    I'd get a professional detailer to take a look at it, and give an estimate. should be between 40-75 bucks.

    just detailed my car. Looks AMAZING and it's silver which is really hard to show off.

    Polish with these first: Monzerna Starter Kit

    Straight outta Germany just like our cars

    Then, apply Klasse all-in-one sealant.

    Then follow with a quality Carnuba Wax (Meguires is great)

    I agree the pc is weak, but I dont reccomend a rotary to a noob!
