Used 1000 grit sandpaper to remove oxidation. Now I need to remove the scratches.

I didn't get through the clearcoat. Any suggestions.

your going to need to buff it with some compound. why would you try and sand the oxidation off??

Maguires heavy cut compound would have taken the Oxidation off and not scratched up the paint.. live and learn..

x2 megs 105/205 and a decent buffer always gives good results

damn bro, 1000 grit sand scratches are gonna be hard to remove. i won't go into the reason as its very boring. you need to get some 1500 maybe 2000 and go over those scratches to remove the 1000. them get a good polish, hate megs stuff, i use only menzerna and some different pads. or better yet take it to a pro

+1 to hating megs shit as well. only use 3m compounds. been using them for 5yrs myself..

i actually thought I grabbed a sheet of 2000. Live and learn is exactly correct.

The good news is, I only sanded about a 3" x 3" area in a few spots.

yeah megs 105 will only remove 1200 grit scratches... and honestly it usually doesnt remove them all the way.. you need to get 2k paper on there, then polish with 105/205.. Or menzerna, they make good polishing compound, but they r pricey.

Oh so you'll be ok doing such a small spot. Just get some 1500 and 2000 and sand lightly to remove the deep scratches then buff.

I think I hate 3M just as much as megs lol. I do like megs new 105 for cut but that's about it.
