Warning Picture Heavy Item ;D : - OK yesterday I spent quite a few hours on the screen, there were quite a few deep stone chips in various places and a couple of long scratches on the front, I've taken some pictures but some of the bits are hard to see in them : - First task I do is mask the black inner paintwork with electrical tape : - Next is the wet and dry, choose an area to work on and depending how deep the blemishes are I go to work with wet and dry - for light scratches I use 2000, for deep stuff I start off coarser then go to 2000 grade. In this one you might see 3 stone chips - in the reflection of the sky in the picture : - Then I get my scratch removing paste out, again, coarse first then fine later, I use it with a drill on slow speed - it can be done by hand but would take even longer : - Some other areas : - It does take some time and you have to be methodical as there are always scratches on both sides of the screen that need to be worked on, final touch is to remove the tape, mask off the clear part of the screen and respray the black edge, when thats dry give the screen a wax and polish : -
