Buffing out paint & scratches on PPF?

[GroovaEV]

Can anyone recommend how to remove paint that is scratched into PPF?
From my quick searching, I know the correct answer is to replace it, but I'm thinking maybe some sort of buffing compound?
At least want to give something a try before paying the $ for replacing it.


I wish I could blame someone else, but, I was trying to squeeze into our garage and ....

I would first try regular paint thinner. I shouldn't harm the PPF film.
You can also try WD40

There’s a polish that’s made for PPF. I believe its designed to remove swirls and scratches on PPF. Not sure how it would perform on your damage, but maybe worth a shot. If you have an orbital polisher handy, might be easier to apply

You’ll just make a bigger mess. Buffing it will ruin the ppf

Thanks, for the suggestion. I went at it with paint thinner and with quite a bit of elbow grease was able to get most of it off. Still needs more work, but definitely better.
PPF sure did it's job well!

I think I'll give the Gyeon Q2M PPF renew, as Kitt 2.0 suggested for the remaining.

A buffer or scrubbing with Novus 2 will take out the remaining scuff. Glad you fixed it.
