Kitty Damage to the Paint

Hi Aaron, I just dug into my box of goodies in the workshop that I use for paintwork. Don"t know if I told you but I do my own bodywork and painting. I painted my 400GT a couple of years ago in its current bright Diablo red color. I have been doing my own work for many years. For your kitty damage, I recommend buffing with 3M Imperial Microfinishing Glaze (P/N 051131-05992), followed by Finnesse-it II Finishing Material (P/N 051131-05928). Those two will gently remove any mild surface scratching (cat paws) without causing any damage. Of course, they are made for application with a powered buffer and a lambs wool pad. Make sure the wool pad is clean. That is where people run into problems with scratching caused by the pad. You can finish it off with some hand-applied glazing compound and finally, some good wax. My gray parrot, Maria, is tossing all the pens in my desk container on the floor as I type so I will stop for now. (She follows each dropped pen/pencil with the statement, "Maria broke it" and she seems pretty proud of her accomplishment)! Best Regards, Jack
