    So the camaro has had a deep scratch in the roof for about six months since the fantastic staff at S&J Chevrolet didn't listen when I asked them not to put those magnetic car tags on the camaro. The result was a deep scratch (about 10") across the roof of my camaro. They offered to have a "detailer" buff it out, but no one touches my paint but me!

    Since I was doing my winter strip and prep, I decided to get out the sanding gear and get rid of this ugly beast thats been staring at me for months.

    Here's the scratch you can see how deep and long it is between the florescent light reflection:

    This guy was really deep, I've been hitting it with SHR monthly with no progress, I hit it with 2000 grit to get started:

    Followed up with 2500 grit, then finally 3000:

    1 pass with Adam's Swirl and Haze Remover, using a 12v rotary drill and Adam's 4" spot buffing pads to buff out the sanding scratches:

    After using the SHR there was still a mild reminisce of scratch left so I hit it with the 3000 grit again:

    And like magic after one more pass with the SHR, Scratch-B-Gone!

    The camaro is ready for our southern california "winter" with a fresh coat of Machine Super Wax, topped with Adam's Americana.. :headbang:

    Nice job man! It's such a shame that the dealer put that scratch in a brand new car.

    looks good, but i cant believe the adams polish took out those sanding scratches. did you inspect it under any lighting besides the fluorescent?

    Yea I have 500w halogens and a brinkman swirl finder.. Those shots came out blurry :(

    I'm really happy with the Adams line, I wouldn't expect the SHR to remove anything more aggressive than 2000 grit though.
