Got some small light scratches on my grill, I know its good to have a few scars but for right now I don't want em! anybody have any advice on anything to put on them to hide or get rid of them?

 

For light scratches,I like to use the color-matched type of wax made by Turtle wax. It seems to fill in the scratches and hide most of them, instead of making them stand out more like most light-colored conventional waxes do when they get stuck in the scratches.

The have it in several shades. Just pick the shade closest to your color. I just got finished doing mine last week. I tried to take pics, but the difference didn't really show up in the pics.

Try it and let us know how it goes.

 

will do!! I will give it a try. hope they have one that compares to rescue jeep green!

 

harley makes a really good scratch remover..you rub it in a lot, using elbow grease, and it does an awesome job at damage to clear coats etc

 

got some meguirs scratch x today. it worked on some smaller and lighter ones but didn't get them all. just helped them blend in a little. The auto parts place said the turtle wax color matched stuff flakes off after a while. It did a good job on the small ones just not the larger! might try the Novus ( the harley stuff) later on its not that big of a deal just bothers me!

 

ya the harley stuff works...just keep rubbing moderately to hard...it will start to 'warm up' and make squeaking noise if you do it properly...

 

Yeah, it only lasts a couple months I guess. Let us know how the Novus goes.

 

Piggy-back, as opposed to hi-jack:

I made my dealer provide me with a "paint pen" full of touch-up paint, because, let's face it, it's a JEEP - it's only a matter of time before a rock or two start "giving it character."

My question: I heard the modern touch-up paint turns out looking like sh$t... like nail polish, because it goes on without any clear coat over it, and sticks out like a sore thumb. Anyone have any experience working with touch-up paint, and have any advice on how to get a decent result from it?

TIA.
