fixing scratches
Hi I am new here and have a few questions.
I have a black 2000 benz ml430, and it has a few rock chips and light scratches. What is the best way to fix them?
Thanks

Imperfections that are deep in the clear coat or through it will most likely need some touch up work. Light imperfections can sometimes be polished out if they are not too deep in the clear coat. Rock chips almost always must have some form of touch up work done. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Pens can be problematic, IMO, as the 'nibs', the felt tip on the end of the pen afford little control over how much paint gets on the surface; usually too much. Either ColorChip or www.langka.com use techniques that, if followed to the letter, produce superior results.

Can you take a picture of the marks? How would you describe the depth of the scratches (i.e. through the clear coat/paint, faint, deep, etc) . Typically the depth of the scratch is the most information when selecting the appropriate polishes. Also will you be doing this by hand or with a buffer? If you have a buffer, which one and with what pads specifically? Once I have that information I can provide a more accurate response. I look forward to helping you remove those scratches!
