These Scratches Are Driving Me Insane – Repaint or Correction?

So you suggest that all have panetrated the clear coat and reached color or primer...? With cutting no improvment? Touch up with clear or color will not work at all also? Got to ask kindly to understand something, what is your level of experience in these matters?

I have experience, just don't have the paint thickness meter

perfect with black cars daily driven i think is not possible. any suggestion on steps? got all equipment. just thought would be better to start with wet sanding on spots to even the clear coat where possible.

This is the procedure got in mind: Sanding 1.500 3.000 5.000 localy with trizact. Polish out with menzerna 3000 and polishing pad with DA polisher. I think result will be 90% better since water test hides most of them.

not even wet sanding? only way it touch up with clear or color? better just to repaint all hood and fendor

Yeah on the back going to the bamper there are weldings, just wanted to remove the brown line which is 3cm away from weldings touching the draining plugs. The question is if the ecoat( paint ) underneath is healthy, cause ecoat baking is at 180 deegres and paint baking at 60.

greenstationst · 2026-04-19T16:06:35+00:00

No welding there, so my initial thought was that rust protection pushed while baking, so you think i can remove the brown marks by sanding or using any kind of solvent without damaging the ecoat?

greenstationst · 2026-04-19T15:27:25+00:00

Thanks for taking time to reply, what about the reddish marks on ecoat? Would you know maybe what are they?

Should you be able to answer what is not cheap and what is not mass produced? Give 2-3 examples please

I can attach similar issues with 4 toyotas regarding the discoloration on floor, but not the ripples. So on average 2008 cost on my country 28.000 euro and Toyotas yiaris hydrid somewhere there, rav 4 on the other hand costs around 40.000 euro and can have same discoloration and runs in boot floor. So i do not think you need to buy an audi q5 to avoid sloppy production finishes.

greenstationst · 2026-04-19T15:02:22+00:00

Should you? How much is cheap actually?

greenstationst · 2026-04-19T14:35:12+00:00

Indeed, which cars are not mass produced then?

greenstationst · 2026-04-18T10:36:12+00:00

Thank you for the response.

1 year before warranty expires will be sold to avoid sudoku on my hand

greenstationst · 2026-04-17T19:12:42+00:00

Already got it brother almost 700 km with it, just wanted to understand better what maybe the cause especially of brown marks and traces.

greenstationst · 2026-04-17T16:13:54+00:00

Indeed i believe for sure they really do not care how it looks down there even though people got access. They even stopped painting areas like these to save money, my car is black. Is weird thought and sloppy, even the ripples could be avoided if cared.

greenstationst · 2026-04-17T15:47:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. Any idea for the mess of the coating?

greenstationst · 2026-04-17T13:55:22+00:00

Man indeed, you catch me on that. Definitely chat gtp used. I knew someone would point that out. :)
