Small hairline scratches in Fine Line Gloss wood

Condorll · 02-15-2024, 02:26 PM

Don't know where they came from, possibly my last service at the dealer but I have 2 thin hairline scratches in the fine line gloss wood trim on the passenger side that bug me. What would you use, Griots 3 in 1 ceramic spray, or McGuires quick spray wax or other. Hoping to reduce the visablity of the scratches and not melt off the gloss finish on the wood trim.

Can you post a pic?

I would think a fine polish would be needed to minimize the scratches, unless you have a glaze product whose fillers might help.

keep in mind that if you add a shine to a scratch it'll just stand out more

This should do the trick. You can find it on Amazon, etc.

Meguiar's Liquid ScratchX 2.0 is another product to consider, available at big box parts stores.
