Title: How to remove scratches and trail pin stripes
Post by: NW-GSP on August 20, 2020, 12:22:29 PM: I’ve had people ask how I remove the swirl marks and pin stripes from hunting and off-roading trips, so I made a video to show the process

I tried the vss but had better luck with the griots products

Great ideas

You would need something more aggressive for deeper scratches. VSS puts a higher polish on, so I am able to coat without having to do a final polish.

I had good luck with other products too, the big thing is putting in the time behind the polisher.

Have you tried one of the clay mitts or fabrics? I got tired of fumbling around and dropping the actual clay products and moved to a mitt and they work as good and are much easier to use.

I have one one but have not used it. I recently bought some mother’s clay and it’s terrible, way too soft.
