Question
I have a 2002 Toyota, deep red. It has a lot of scratches, none to rust. How can I restore this finish? Any help will be appreciated, thank you.
Depending on the scratches you can wetsand with a 2000 grit wet or dry 3m SANDPAPER until the scratches are gone. ( becareful not to sand too much as you can sand thru the clear into the paint which requires then to repaint.) After you wetsand, use a slow speed buffer and rubbing compound to bring back to a shine.
