Found this guy on another forum, posting about his car getting keyed.

He lives 2 suburbs away from me so I offered to help do what I could.

 

He brought some touch-up paint so we went to work with it and some 2000grit.

Keyed areas got SSR3 with W-7006 pad @ ~1200rpms (some areas took 3-4 passes)

I demo-ed Menz IP with W-8006 on the orbital and had him doing it

 

After that he went home, and the next day got himself an orbital and some W-8006 and #9 and did the final polish.

Hey bro, nice work there and the car definately looks much better after the detailing session [thumbsup] .

 

For the touch-up paint, how many times did you go over the scratches and how long did you leave the paint to dry on the car before sanding it down.

About 3-4 times using a very fine brush.

Used a hairdryer to dry each layer in about 5 minutes and then applied another.

Low humidity even during summer helped a fair bit.
