Have you ever had a scuff on your car’s wing mirror that just won’t seem to go away? It can be frustrating to see that imperfection every time you get into your car. But fear not, because today I am going to show you how to remove that stubborn scuff without having to resort to repainting your wing mirror.
In today’s video, we are going to tackle a deep scuff on a wing mirror using a few different techniques. The scuff is quite deep in some areas, so we will need to use a combination of wet sanding, polishing, and filling with solvent paint to get rid of it.
To start off, we will use 1500 grit sandpaper to give the scuff a quick sand and see what we can remove. While most of the scuff will be removed, there are still some deeper marks that will require a bit more work. After sanding, we will use a little trick involving solvent paint and a filler spreader to fill in the deeper marks without the need for spraying.
Once the solvent paint has dried, we will sand the area again with 1500 grit sandpaper, checking our progress as we go along. We will then move on to 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper to further smooth out the area. After sanding, we will apply some polish and compound to give the wing mirror a shiny finish.
After following these steps, the scuff on the wing mirror has been greatly improved, saving it from needing to be repainted. While it may not be perfect, the results are impressive and show that with a little bit of elbow grease, you can remove substantial damage without the need for a costly respray.
So next time you have a scuff on your car’s wing mirror, don’t panic. With the right techniques and a bit of patience, you can restore it to its former glory without breaking the bank. Give it a try and see the difference for yourself!
