Cement On Porsche Need Professional Help
 

Hello,
I drive an '02 Porsche Boxster BLACK.
I was driving through downtown Miami and there was construction up above from me. Some Idiot of a guy accidently spilled cement to the cars below him (I was unlucky enough to be one of those cars). When I got home I saw spots of dried up cement on my car, so I figured that I would go ahead and use TurtleWax Car Wash and Wash out all the cement. I did this and now there are scratch marks (circular scratch marks since I was washing it in a circular motion).

Could someone please give me their professional opinion on a good product to BUFF out these scratch marks? I am not quite sure if they are scratch marks or liquid cement that just happen to follow my motion. I am very angry and was wondering what I should do in this situation.

Thank you for your help.

You have 2 options

1st option is you can call your insurance agency and report a claim against the construction company and have it repainted or buffed like new on there expence

2nd option is you can try getting it out yourself by using a varity of polishes and scratch removers but when the abrasions will always be there and you'll have to re-buff those areas over and over so they dont show atleast once every 2 months.

I've herd of this product being used successfully..

Then I would take it in to be professionally highspeed polished.

I thank you for your responses. I am going to try the cement remover.. do you guys recommend any polishes or scratch removers that I should buy for a BLACK porsche boxster? Thank you very much.

take a picture of it once its been cleaned and post it here.

If you have a black car I would HIGHLY recommend getting an electric orbital polisher. Lowes sells the Porter Cable orbital polisher for under $130.
a two step swirl remover liquid paste like Poorboys SSR or Menzerma Intensive Polish will make your paint look brand new, even in the direct sunlight.

If the scratch didn't penetrate through the clear coat and damage the base layer you should be able to fix this with the polisher. If the cement did damage the base layer then you've got to have it repainted. Matching faded black paint can be a real pain in the arse, proceed with caution.

this guy has a useful site for maintaining his black car

Wow!! I'm surprised PerfectLap didn't suggest a coating of FinishKare #425 detailer.

I feel this thread will be turning into a "How to Polish, and What Products to use Polishing fiasco" shortly.

hahaha



KRZ :cheers:

Porter Cable orbital polisher .. is that the same as the Porter Cable Buffer?

They look kinda hard to use... is it just .. apply the necessary fluid/liquid.. then turn the machine on and leave it there? Thanks.

Thanks for all your replies.

A random orbital buffer will not give you as good results as a highspeed buffer. Problem is a highspeed is difficult to use (you can actually burn through your paint) so would want to leave that option to a professional.

orbital polishers like the Porter Cable are very very easy to use and will give the same result as a rotary polisher which is harder and more risky but does the job in a fraction of the time of an orbital, for pro use only.

The paint and detail link I provided above has video of the correct way to use a Buffer. Very very simple.

oh yeah and you have a black car you should try FK 425 :p
