Deep Scratch Remover
Nearly every vehicle owner at one time or another has noticed scratches from gravel, other vehicles or a handful of different reasons. Your car can receive pings or scratches from being hit by a small rock that is thrown up when a truck drives over it or from someone in a parking lot who inadvertently pings your door with their car door when rushing into a grocery store. There are thousands of ways in which your car can be scratched and no matter how much you try to protect your vehicle, there is simply no way to guarantee that it will never receive a deep scratch. It is important however, to treat scratches as quickly as possible to prevent rust from forming on the scratched area.
Of course, you will not want to take your car or truck to an automotive body repair shop each and every time you receive the slightest ping. This could end up costing you much more than you actually paid for your vehicle. The better solution is to purchase deep scratch remover and remove the scratch or ping before it has a chance to rust. Deep scratch remover is designed to remove scratches and restore the finish of your vehicle to the original shine. Most deep scratch remover products work on scratches that have penetrated down to the bare metal of your vehicle. They are typically very easy to use and many come with money back guarantees to ensure your satisfaction. If you are purchasing a deep scratch remover, check to see if a satisfaction guarantee is offered.
Many deep scratch removers work with specialized pads, typically bonded with components such as aluminum oxide crystals or silicon carbide, which helps to diminish scratches. When you purchase a deep scratch remover kit you will typically receive all of the needed materials to remove pings and scratches from your car or truck. You may also need to purchase touch up paint in the color of your vehicle. After you have successfully removed the scratch you can use the touch up paint to give your vehicle back its original look.
It is important to fully follow all instructions included with your deep scratch remover to ensure that you do not cause further damage to your vehicle. Be certain that you pay strict attention to the methods suggested for removing the scratch. Depending on the severity of the scratch, you may need to fill, polish and smooth the surface before you add the touch up paint. Most minor scratches take only around five to ten minutes to completely remove. Deeper scratches may take up to thirty minutes depending on the severity of the scratch and the size of the affected area. You will also likely need to use more than one removal pad for a larger surface area or scratches that are terribly deep. Be certain that you do not use these products on areas that have striping or other decorative decals.
Most deep scratch removal products have different pads for different severities of scratches. You will need to determine the severity and the extent of the damage to the affected area and then choose the appropriate pad. The pads typically contain different levels of abrasiveness so you should be certain to use the correct one for your scratches.
Deep scratches are typically defined as those that you can easily feel with your fingertips. Damage in deep scratches normally penetrates through the top coat of paint on the car and into the base coat or in very extreme cases, into the bare metal of the vehicle. You should understand that there will be some scratches that deep scratch removers simply cannot repair. If your vehicle is damaged beyond the point of using these removers, be certain that you take it to an auto body repair shop to have the appropriate measures taken to ensure that the affected area does not begin to rust.
