[squashy]

Hi all, can anyone advise me how to remove scratches effectively? Wat product is the best to remove scratches. I tried waxing but doesn't seems to work to effectively.

please help!!!

try rubbing compound, its like wax, but it actually removes a thin layer of your paint away. remember to apply wax after you're done...

[squashy]

Tks Kaozie for the advise. Can I know where to get this rubbing compound? Got any brand to recommend? How much does it cost?

[kaozie]

you can find it around Kelantan Lane(near LAB), alot of hardware shops around there...

any brand will do, so long as its rubbing compound...

turtle wax scratch remover

[FEARLESS_FIGHTER]

There are scrach remover products in the market which can remove

light scraches. If really, the scrach is bad try to use sticker to cover it..

[squashy]

I tried the Turtle Wax polishing compound. Not so effective. Scratches still visible. Felt a bit $$$ waste.

[deckard]

use sticker lah.. cheap and good.

is rubbing compound same as turtle wax's polishing compound?

nope, polishing compound gives you a layer of wax to cover any light scratches. rubbing compound removes a thin layer of paint away...

i used cif on my ex-bike xr4's plastic and it loose it's shine and become dull..

maybe i applied too much pressure..

for rims i think it's ok, but on plastic, better not..

just keep polishing, like polishing boots, takes abit of patient..

if scratches is deep, get a touch-up pen from 'home-fix' and read and follow the instruction inside..

the pen is usually located near to the cashier.. $10 each..

do not use CIF to wash ur bike except for the rim!! it's v rough & will spoil the paintwork on plastic or metallic parts
