Light Scratch Repair Instructions

(Note:  if your fingernail will NOT "catch" in the scratch, then it is only a Scratch in the clear coat and can be repaired using LANGKA...WetSand2000 kit.  IF you fingernail will catch in the scratch, then it is a "deep" scratch and you should us LANGKA...Complete Paint Chip and Scratch Repair Kit.)

Requires soft cotton cloth. Does NOT require a power buffer.

Preliminary Test: Apply Step A to a clean cotton cloth and rapidly rub in a circular motion (with pressure) over the scratch for 10-15 seconds, then view this area to see if the scratch has been removed or improved upon. IF it appears that Step A is making an improvement, keep using Step A to remove the scratch entirely or as best as possible. IF it has not affected the scratch, then you will need to go to Step1. Note: Using a dual-action buffer makes buffing a vehicle much easier as it does this process at a much higher speed.

Step 1: Wet Sanding the clearcoat scratch. NOTE: Be sure our vehicle actually has a clear coat layer. Almost all vehicles since 1990 are in fact clearcoated. If uncertain, test in an inconspicuous area.

A. Soak enclosed sandpaper for a minimum of 10 minutes of clean water. This is why the process is called "wet-sanding". NOTE: the sandpaper must be kept very wet to prevent damage to the vehicle, therefore, re-wet the sandpaper quite often. Remember, the "wetter", the better.
B. Fold paper and use the flat surface along the folded edge for sanding the scratch (you can refold the paper anyway you wish, just be sure to use the flat surface along the folded edge to sand with).
C. Sand the area for a few strokes, then view the area. Caution: Apply light to moderate pressure and take your time. Depending on the depth of the clear coat scratch, it typically can take 10-30 strokes (or more) to eliminate clearcoat scratches. WetSand2000 paper, light to moderate pressure and patience is all it takes. View your work often, i.e., Do NOT sand too long during any one sanding period. If the scratch is still visible, re-wet the paper, and repeat this step until the scratch is gone or you determine the scratch is deeper than you thought. Stop sanding as soon as the original scratch is gone or you determine the scratch is deeper than the clearcoat layer.
D. When the scratch is gone, the result will be a dull surface where the sanding occurred. See Step 2 (below) to eliminate this and restore the shine to your vehicle.

Step 2: Removing the minor scratches caused by Wet Sanding (Step 1)
A. Once the scratch is gone, clean and then dry the area with a clean cloth.
B. Apply StepA liberally to a soft clean cloth of your choice, and rapidly hand buff using a good amount of pressure (a power-buffer can be used, by it's not necessary) to the area sanded for as long as necessary  to remove the clearcoat scratches and restore the shine to the auto surface. If area remains hazy, do this step again until shiny.
C. Apply Step B liberally to a soft cloth of your choice and hand buff the area for as long as necessary to seal the shine.
D. With a clean cloth wipe down entire area. Your done!

NOTE: When done, this finished area will feel incredibly smooth, as compared to the rest of the surface of the vehicle. If your really "anal", you can lightly wet sand the entire vehicle to produce a paint surface that is smooth as glass.  OR you can "clay" the entire surface as a substitute wet sanding the entire vehicle.
