getting out hairline scratches/paint chips
i went to the dealer today to pick up a touchup pen. show him some some tiny paint chipping in rear quarter panel. he told me to park out back, took out this farecla G3 compound, applied it using lambswool pad directly to the affected area, wiped with towel and BAM! gone! my jaw dropped.
now, the question is where do i buy this stuff? labswool + G3 compound in the GTA area? Markham specifically. do yourselves a favour if you have minor paint chips and scratches. it freakin looked magical. lol

how exactly did it work? was it a paste stuff that filled the holes and then used a touch up pen after or did it come out the same color as the car? I could really use this stuff to fix all the road debris chips on my back doors.

it's just like i said. it comes in a tube. squeezes out in paste form. smear a little in affected area, wipe off excess, and bam, gone. the only concern is that it left a powdery white residue, hardly noticable around where the paste was, it fades away after a car wash or two (the residue i mean). but it's def alot better than a scratch sticking out like a sore thumb.

Claybar will only room contaminates on your paint. It will NOT remove swirls or scratches in the clear coat/paint.
The stuff he used sounds like a mild abrasive similar to a polish which may also contain some sort of glaze to help level out the clear coat. The only problem with glazes is that they'll eventually wash off and you'll be able to see the original damage.
