New 3M Scratch Remover:
Makes it Fast and Easy to Remove Fine Scratches,
Swirl Marks
.....For almost any car owner, a small scratch or blemish
on the paint is a big issue. In fact, repairing a scratch
at a local service center can run hundreds of dollars, depending
on the severity of the damage, not to mention the time without
the vehicle.
.....Now there is an easy way of removing fine scratches,
swirl marks, oxidation and paint imperfections at home
and on a budget. New 3M Scratch Remover takes the headache
out of scratch repair and the heartache of having to live
with a less-than-perfect paint job.
....."Scratches and blemishes are among the biggest
complaints car owners have about their vehicles," said
John Mailand, technical services manager for 3M Retail Automotive.
"Until now, most consumers had a choice of taking their
car to a service center, trying to repair the scratches with
multi-step automotive products designed for a skilled professional
or just living with the unsightly damage. Now, they have a
new option remove the scratches and blemishes by hand
easily and quickly."
.....New 3M Scratch Remover adapts the trusted technology
and innovation found in the professional scratch repair products
into a simple solution. It uses fine minerals to remove the
scratches from the paint and gradually bring back a high-polish
finish. Applied by hand, it is easier to use than rubbing
compound and doesn't require any tools. The formula contains
no wax so scratches are polished out, not filled in with wax,
and it is safe for clear coats.
....."If a car's finish has simple damage such as light-to-medium
scratches, swirl marks, car wash scratches or paint imperfections,
the 3M Scratch Remover is an ideal way to improve them with
no hassles, no tools and no waiting," said Mailand. "For
less than $25, car owners can make a repair that would cost
them two to five times as much at a service center. But if
the blemish is deep, if the primer is visible or the surface
is dented, they should consult their service professional
for advice."
Mailand offered these simple tips for using 3M Scratch
Remover to repair blemishes:
- Clean area with 3M Car Wash Soap to remove dirt and residue
- Dispense a quarter-sized amount of 3M Scratch Remover
on a clean, soft terry towel
- Rub over scratch using a firm circular motion until the
3M Scratch Remover is dry
- Remove remaining product with a 3M Microfiber Detail Cloth
- Follow with 3M Performance Finish for maximum paint protection
and shine up to 50 washes or six months of a durable
finish.
