Help! Scuffs/scratches on 2012 Bambi
I tried cleaning my airstream and somehow ended up scuffing/lightly scratching the aluminum. Is there any way to get rid of these stupid little scuffs?Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAirstream Forums1409867537.712950.jpg Views: 181 Size: 600.4 KB ID: 220817Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAirstream Forums1409867556.401830.jpg Views: 204 Size: 579.5 KB ID: 220818Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAirstream Forums1409867571.710663.jpg Views: 189 Size: 601.0 KB ID: 220820Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAirstream Forums1409867582.592017.jpg Views: 236 Size: 654.0 KB ID: 220821

Are you using your bambi for art class?

I took some pretty deep scuffs off of mine with an orbital buffer and some Griots Garage One Step Sealant. It has a very fine polishing agent and a sealer. Don't use a circular buffer it will leave swirl marks.

Alright, so I got some under coat repair goo and applied it. Does it look any better? I also washed it.

Are you still on this forum? Do you remember what "undercoat repair goo" you used to clean up your trailer? Would say that the finial result looks better.
