Anyone know of a good product to remove tree branch scratches form my Motorhome. I have a full body painted MH. I can't feel the scratches so It I think they didn't do any paint damage.
Snomas,
That sucks for sure. But, based on your feelings and report, I'd say you're safe in being able to rub them out. Toothpaste quite possibly may be a bit abrasive and, while maybe getting the scratches out, it may leave a dull surface, not sure. But, 3M makes multiple products for paint surfacing and polishing. While a bit on the expensive side, the 3M products are well thought out and designed so that optimum results are achieved.
I have both the 3M part A and Part B. A is the rubbing compound and B is the polishing compound. While I used the part A for a long time thinking it was the cats meow in shiny results, I tried the part be and was seriously astounded that it's that much better than the A part.
So, depending on just what you feel like spending on products to make your full body painted coach look like it was never scratched, is up to you. Your local auto parts stores also have different grades of compounds. If you have a body shop supplies near you, I'd surely stop in there and ask them, they do and sell that stuff for a living.
