Now there are a large number of scratches on the fender flair just behind the rear wheel. My question is, what would be the best method of removing these scratches by hand? I have a show coming up this weekend and would like to remove these scratches before that time. Most of the scratches are very small and I believe that they can be removed very easily. However, some (more than I would like) are a little deeper and may be a problem to remove - after I work on it for a little bit, I will have a better idea about how deep they are. Can someone give me some quick suggestions on how I can remedy this issue. Thanks, Sean Howley VIN#2345 >> Sean, A body shop in Milwaukee told me they would refinish DeLorean panels they had 'bumped out' with 80 grit in a belt sander going in the direction of existing grain pattern. Your scratches can probably be removed with a scuff pad (flexible sanding pad) available at auto or hardware centers. Burke
