Ah yes...the scratch-n-wash!

how does this process work?

clean.

I wouldn't recommend this option unless you totally know`what you're doing.

You can end up farking it up even more.

bingo...Just say NO! At the very least, you would have to be a PRO detailer to attempt.

up the paint or anything.

is someone go aggresive like that and mess up the paint much worse than the scratch.

Its just not something most should tackle without some research on technigue, pros and cons etc.

but I think what wet sanding is supposed to do is to smooth out minor scratches in the clear coat so that they're on the same level as the rest of the paint (even though it will be microscopicly off). Think about it this way, if you're looking at something with ridges (chips for example) you notice the difference in height between the ridges. The same thought applies to a clear coat scratch, what you're actually perceiveing as a scratch is just difference in height between two points. Wet sanding will bring the difference in height down to level and make the scratch look homogenous just like the rest of the paint. Since you will have removed some of the clear coat with the sanding you'll have to use a combination of rubbing compound and polish to get the sanded clear coat as shiny as the unsanded clear coat on the rest of the car.

Here's the <a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext45.shtml">Tech article</a> that has a bit more information.

The first time I did it, I followed the tech article <i>exactly</i> but the clear coat was still lacklustre. I found that using rubbing compound in conjunction with polishes really shines that clear coat back to its original luster.
