any of you got light scratches that polish wont get rid of well use this

just be very carefull . only use this with your hand DO NOT USE A MACHINE BUFFER unless you know what your doing

Farecla G3 regular paste compound
i just lightly buff the offened scratch untill it disapears. it really does work its like magic

as i said be carefull this stuff takes away a small layer of laquer and if rubbed to hard for a long period of time you will go to the paint
but for general use via hand its brilliant stuff ,

a pea size blob is all thats needed per scratch. DONT wax this all over the car it isnt a polish

Personally I wouldn't. It's quite an abrasive polish and if you look at the area of paint you used this on in the sun you will see lots of scratches and hologram marks where You've used it.
It should really only be used by machine and then followed up with G10 by machine too.
Try Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 next time mate ;)

will try that sam cheers

Sorry... I sounded quite blunt in my last post. Wasen't putting you down by any means.
Thing is Abrasive polishes work by having bits of grit in them that works through the paint.
G3 has big grit to take lots of paint off quickly, so you end up with scratches.
G10 has minute grit which creates a supper smooth finish with no scratches.
Meguiars Scratch X has deminishing abrasives, they start off big then as your working it into the paint the grit gets smaller and smaller and polishes the surface up nicely with no scratches

no probs sam. i know what you mean .

i dont use G3 pure. i spray water on 1st ..

ive been using that stuff for years,
its brilliant stuff once you get used to it but in the wrong hands its lethal stuff for a car,
iuse it for geting rid of scuffs, and overspray,

it wont get rid of most scratches unless there fine ones,
the only way to get rid of scratches properly is to use paint and a coctail stick

i use G3 for light scratches as well. as lon as its only the laquer thats scratched it will get it out. within reason.

just G3'd my whole car.... a bit of 1500 wet and dry on the main scratches, G3'd the whole car to remove the scum and get rid of the 1500 w&d paper mark, and then used meguires NXT 2.0, what a difference !! after using G3, make sure you use a good quality wax, G3 is a bodyshop compound and removes all the wax, make sure you wax after using this, and only use G3 with a compounder with a speed of no more than 1500rpm !!!
