Messed up my vert roof :(
So about a week or so ago I was trying to get hard impacted ice off the top,
was using the snow scraper part of the brush, wasd on hard. And I messed up, I stopped half way through, as I realised I could be damaging the top. Now all over on half the top I have like gouge/lines marks, the thing is I can live with the marks as when it's wet they seem ok, but there are white lines going in the marks I tried jet washing, and also some vert top cleaner with a soft, then hard bristled brush and also a nail brush, I didnt want to go to hard It's all drying off now, but initially it looks like the marks are still there, including the white. Do I need to get my detail guy to look at it and maybe use a pollisher/mechanical brush Will try and get some pictures, am so mad with myself. Not sure if I can get a dye on it, which may be hard to match up and possibly just wear out thanks |

I went out and tried rubbing hard on one of the lines with a MF towel wrapped around my finger and did seem to help.
I'm seeing my detailer tomorrow, I don't want to guess and make things worse. I'm hoping thoes wheel doodads you see them putting on drills, or sanding DA's , I dont mean sanders, I think it needs some finessing with a professional tool, rather than a by hand and brush It looks a wee bit better I must say, I was scared to exert to much preassure in case I trashed the roof Man, I can't seem to get a break, first my hood and now my top |

OK here's the pics, in the last one you can see I was sucessful in "rubbing" it out
I've decided to do the hard work myself, as I got laid off, I'm trying to keep expenses down, plus it's a teach myself a lesson not to do this crap again. Also though I didnt get a quote, he's going to charge me at least the price of a detail (say $80 plus tax) and I need to spend $50 on cab fair to and fro, so at least a min of $130... so I've finally found a non-rude purpose for my middle finger Finger and MF cloth is LONG winded but dooable, not sure why the brushes DONT take them out ? |
