How to Remove Deep Scratches from Your Car

The repair described in this article assumes the presence of deep scratches and numerous chips spread over the paint of a body pane. It also assumes the unavailability of a compressor and paint gun. The purpose of making the following repairs yourself, therefore, is to reduce costs by doing preparatory work before turning the car over to an auto body paint shop for repainting.

How to Remove Deep Scratches from Your Car Car Scratches

You will need these supplies: wax-removing solvent; a sanding block; a tack cloth; 80-, 240-, and 400-grit sandpaper; glazing putty; spray cans of zinc chromate and finishing primer; and a rubber contour squeegee.

Here is what to do:

  • After washing and drying the body panel, clean it with wax-removing solvent.
  • Use 80-grit sandpaper attached to the sanding block over the dam­aged area. Keep the sanding block flat against the surface and apply moderate pressure. Move the sandpaper in a back-and-forth motion. Do this until you produce bare metal. Then, wipe the area clean.
  • Using a piece of 240-grit sandpaper attached to the sanding block, sand the area again to remove scratches in the metal that were made by the 80-grit sandpaper.
  • The next sanding step is done to get the area as smooth as pos­sible. Use 400-grit sandpaper attached to the sanding block. Keep the sandpaper wet.
  • After sanding, wash the area with plain water and wipe it with the tack cloth, which will remove fine particles.
  • Let the surface dry completely.
  • Cover moldings and adjacent panels with newspaper held in place with masking tape. This is done to guard against primer overspray.
  • Hold the spray can of zinc chromate primer parallel to the area, at a distance of 10 to 12 inches. Moving the can back and forth, spray the primer onto the surface until all bare metal is covered.
  • Let the primer dry.

How to Remove Deep Scratches from Your Car Scratches on Door

  • Scoop a glob of glazing putty onto the edges of a rubber contour squeegee and spread it onto the surface. Use moderate pressure so that the putty will stick. Move the squeegee in one direction only.
  • After the putty dries, sand it with 240-grit sandpaper attached to the sanding block. Sand until the putty is level with the surround­ing surface. Run your hand over the area to make certain no high spots remain. Then, inspect the putty for the presence of pits or rough areas and to determine whether you inadvertently sanded off too much, leaving a low spot. If necessary, apply another layer of glazing putty and repeat the sanding operation.
  • Attach 800-grit sandpaper to the sanding block, saturate the paper with water, and sand the repaired area of the panel until the sur­face is as smooth as possible. Dip the sandpaper into water fre­quently.
  • When you are satisfied with the smoothness of the panel, wash it and then wipe it with the tack cloth. Let the surface dry com­pletely.
  • Apply the finish primer, using the same technique described for application of the zinc chromate primer. The panel is now ready for painting.

Elton John’s Audi A1 Sold For £350,000

 Audi A1

This unique Audi A1 has been designed by British artist Damien Hirst for Elton John. That explains why it’s pink! But Hirst has actually done a great job creating an art car by splashing some paint on it. The car has been auctioned for the benefit of Elton’s AIDS Foundation White Tie & Tiara Ball and fetched £350,000.

The eight-cylinder Panamera models are entering the next model year as of August 2010 with an even higher standard of all-round efficiency and new options. Particularly the new brake energy recuperation system featured as standard, together with optional 19-inch all-season tyres offering reduced roll resistance, give the Panamera Turbo a further improvement of fuel consumption by 0.9 litres/100 km. As a result, the 500-horsepower top model now consumes just 11.3 litres instead of formerly 12.2 litres/100 km in the New European Driving Cycle, equal to 25.0 mpg imp (formerly 23.2 mpg imp) and a reduction of CO2 emissions by 21 grams per kilometre. The Panamera S and Panamera 4S now making do with just 10.3 ltr/100 km and, respectively, 10.6 ltr/100 km (equal to 27.4 and, respectively, 26.7 mpg imp in the NEDC), are likewise up to half a litre more efficient per 100 kilometres (equal to minus 11 grams CO2/km).
