Spider Web Scratches.

zaino is about the only thing that will effectively get rid of them and keep them from coming back..

 

but in the future  use 100% cotton from fieldcrest to prevent them.

You may want to try "Liquid Ebony".  It is marketed as a machine applied swirl remover.  It works great!!  I have used it for years to detail dark colored cars.  It can be found at most automotive paint supply stores.  It sells for about $15-$20 for a large (30-40 oz) bottle.

 

BTW, it works well on most minor scratches.

if they are deep 3m is great but you need a buffer.  If they are light the zaino Z2or Z5 (clearcoat stuff) will remove them well

:cheers:

yep... Liquid Ebony is what you want to use.

 

I have used it over 20 yrs and it is the detailers choice for black paint.

but after you are done with the LE, use Zaino products for the shine of your life and very easy to apply.... on your truck, fig about 2 full days... but it will be worth every minute when you are done.

You will always have light scratches or swirls with a black or dark color car or truck, to get rid of these light scratches use a product like 3M Scratch and Swirl Remover, if you want to cover or hide the light scratches use Zaino Z-5, it works great on dark colors and covers light scratches very well if the are not too deep

Its also very important not to wash the car and wax it using a circular motion (no wax on, wax off crap). Always wash it and apply wax in the direction the air travels, so front to back. I wash one side at a time, starting at the front and walking all the way to the back in one straight motion.

A buddy at work was just asking me the other day how to remove a pretty deep scratch and spider webs on a black Grand Am (wife's car) to get it looking good to sell it. I gave him the website for Zaino and he checked it out. Couldn't find what he wanted on the site so he called, this was on a Sunday, mind you. He was going to leave a message when, much to his surprise, someone answered the phone. It was one of the owners. He recommended to my buddy to use the 3M swirl and scratch remover to get the finish where he wanted it before he put the Zaino product on the car. :cheers:

 

Hope this helps! :lol:

Maguiars Scratch X works pretty good on my Tahoe.

 

Use non-lint towels when taking wax off. Be sure when you wash them (towels) that you do not use any additive to your wash. The "fabric softner" when used in the dryer, or washer type, leaves a film on the towels and will cause scraches when using them on your clear coat.

 

cheers
