Dale - The best way that I have found to remove small cross-grain scratches in the DeLorean skin is to use Scotchbrite pads. They are available in several different "grits", depending on how fine a finish you want on your car. I use a finer grit that is dark brown in color to produce a satin smooth look without aggressive grain. The pads "flow" over the contours very easily, and it really is not that big of a challenge to maintain a straight line. Why don't you come to the next PNDC tech session, and we'll show you all about it. My records indicate that you are a member, so you are certainly welcome and encouraged to take advantage of these club benefits. Contact me off-list and I'll get you "plugged in". This same encouragement goes to all of you out there who belong to the various regional clubs, but are not using those resources. Active club members all over the country would like nothing more than better attendance at club functions. Come on guys ... use us!
