Ok just a quick question. I have a brand new Optima well a 2020 it had 12 miles when I bought it. However I notice in certain light it has micro scratches and some swirl marks. The car is sangria in color and I don’t have a garage and it’s daily driver. Should I really worry about this or just...

Hi, I am unable to post images or links due to my low post count. I had scratched up the paint on my car in a few spots while cleaning snow off of my black 2016 Optima. In order to paint over it, I tried priming it with "Rust-Oleum 249418 Automotive 12-Ounce Sandable Primer Spray Paint, Black,"...

Maybe this should go in the detailing section, but here goes anyway... The gloss black trim around my windows (B & C pillars) have tons of light scratches visible when light hits at the right angle. I'm sure it's just the usual stuff from the dealer not doing a great job washing the car and/or...

Well I know about eBay and their potential crappy products.. But honestly I didn't know where else to buy a gas lid. Anyways, spent $85 on this product and felt like I got scammed. Product feels cheap and it scratched my paint because it sits too far to the left. I rate the product a 2/10...

So the title says it all... Long story short, decided that a blanket could save my upper bumper from Xmas tree scratches, wrong, cover slipped and tree put some micro scratches.. Anyway since they are small, I was thinking maybe a polish and applying the appliqué. Do you think it would hide...

Where would I go to fix some rock chips, scratches, and minor dents. Collision shop, a general mechanic such as "Mr. Muffler", or a dealer? How much does it generally run on average? I'm asking you guys to see if anyone had any cosmetic work done on there car before because I'm looking to...

Do any of you guys have one? There is a guy up the street who did his WRX, and it looks brand new. I even stopped by to ask him, but he doesn't speak english. I have never owned or used a buffer before, and I am looking for some recommendations. I don't want to spend over $100, as I only have...

I have a 2013 SX that was bought in August of last year. I usually replace my wiper blades every year even though you only need to once they are not wiping properly. The other day driving down the highway with some heavy rain I start hearing some scratching. Being that its on the highway I cant...

Anybody have any idea what would get rid of scratches on the fascia around the temperature display and control panel. Surface scratches, nothing deep, but the you can tell because the coloring is a little different. Anybody have any good ideas for this? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I decided to wash my car today even with the thermostat hitting over 90°. I figured it would be fine once the car is more or less in the shade. At the time 3 of the 4 wheels were in the shade so I started with the wheels. My general procedure for cleaning the wheels is to first...

After 3 weeks I finally got around to putting some gas in the tank and discovered there are a dozen or so tiny scratches (a bit under 1/4" in length) on the trunk lid near the rear quarter panel seam. Since the car was in the showroom I guessing something or someone sat on it. They appear to...

Well.. Got my first scratch and felt pretty stupid doing it. I just backed into my garage door as it was opening :(. Took a little paint off the trunk lid and a bunch of scratches all in a matter of seconds. Took it to the dealers body shop and he got most of the scratches out for free. But...

First of let me state that I'm aware that scratches and swirl marks from normal wear n tear/washing the car are inevitable and that black is one of the most notorious colors for revealing those scratches. I bought a brand new 2013 Black LX that's starting to show those scratches and I'm looking...

I just got a scratch yesterday and I'm pretty annoyed by it for some reason. I love my car and I just got it two weeks ago. I was thinking about either buying these products to fix up the scratches. What is your opinion? 2011 KIA OPTIMA RETOUCH PEN PAINT SNOW WHITE PEARL | eBay NEW OEM 2010 -...

Today I decided to badge my car with the "3.0 K" emblems. My cousin, who is great with cars (owns a Evo XIII MR), told me he would help me with it. We got fishing wire, he did the front and I did the back. The part that I did was perfect, the front that he worked out didn't turn out quite so...

So I took my car to one of those charity car washes for the local high school to help out a good cause. Let them wash it and talked to the teachers and others there. Got my car back and after I got home, I noticed some scratches on the windshield. Look some more and there are more scratches all...

Hey guys, Just got a Corsa Blue SX. During our inspection at the dealership, I spotted couple "scratches" on the car. (very unnoticeable, but I'm picky, so...) According to my dealer, he said that there are finger prints, and they drove to the service department to clean them up, and yes, it...
