Does this stuff work?

http://nufinish.com/products_scratch.html

I have three problems on my car that need help. Really I just want to get rid of the other paint that is on the car (greenish blue, red, and different white in the third picture). I might have to remove my pinstripes since when the red mark happened it took part of the pinstripe off too. I know most of you hate the pinstripes anyway, but I've always liked them.

Anyway, anyone use this NuFinish before? If not, other suggestions?

I don't know But keep us posted. I have used NU finish before on a scratch and it worked somewhat. I have never used this product though

I'd be skeptical. Have you tried claybaring it? That might help more than nufinish. Or, you could stop running into ****, that'd probably work better

Claybar was the first thing I thought of using when I saw those pictures.

I've never even seen a claybar yet alone used one.

Whatever I use I don't want to have to wax the car or anything, I don't have that type of patience.

I wish I had ran into something to get these marks, at least then it would have been worth it.

So, not waxing the car doesn't bother you, but 3 little smudges do?

+1 To that. If you're not gonna make it look pretty, why bother cleaning it up? lol

Hahah. You can see the paint smudges from about 50 feet away. You can't tell I've never waxed it from 50 feet away.

james, like they posted ubove, a clay bar will remove the scuffs. the scuffs are only on the surface and are the other guys paint.

So I just go to the store and say "I need a clay bar" and they will give me something good. You guys don't understand, I'm a total noob when it comes to cleaning a car. Dave, impart some of your wisdom on me.

You go to anywhere, parts store, walmart. go to the section where they have car wash and wax. and buy a clay bar. it should come with detailer, if not, buy a spray bottle of it. wash your car. spray the area down with the detailer, and rub the clay bar over it. viola.

dont waste your money on that detailer spray crap. buy the clay bar, wash the car really good. rinse off. and use FRESH soapy water with the clay bar on the scuffs. no need to spend the extra 5.00 or so on the detailer spray. soapy water will work just as good and save you some coin.

just walk into any auto parts store, and go to the detailing isle. look for a package that says clay bar. grab the mild one, there are 3-4 different types. from light to heavy.

Sorry to go off topic here. Since the master detailer is answering questions though, what's the best thing to use to clean our headliners? Mine is disgusting.

Bring it to a place and have them do the whole Exterior of the car. Then you will be good for another 3 years of Neglect.

At least your car is white. You can neglect it and get away with it.

The claybar should get rid of the first two. The last one looks like a deeper scratch and will need a paint touch up.

After you clay THE WHOLE CAR, wax it with a sealant-type wax. I recommend Meguiar's NXT Gen wax.
