2013 Maserati GranTurismo

My best friend's boss recently bought this GranTurismo and she asked me if I could anything about this scratch on the bonnet. She did not have a clue how it got there, but it could feel it with my nail. Looked deep! But I told her I'd give it a try...

These are all befores...






It had less than 4,000 miles on the ticker so just a bit dirty.


The inner barrels had never been cleaned. Oops!


Here is the scratch.




Dirty dirty dirty...




After I washed the car, I tried removing the scratch with FG400 and you can tell it made a slight difference, but it really was too deep. Only wetsanding could take this one out. I was able to minimize the top scratch though.


Wheels much cleaner. I used Sonax Full Effect here.




And the afters. The wax I used was Swissvax Mirage.
