Polishing scratches out of carbon fiber

[alun111]

Hi,

Any tips on how to do this? I believe the carbon is laquered. The scratch can be felt with a fingernail.

Also... any tips on getting the scratches off the paintwork on my tank?

Cheers

Fill with appropriate amount of black superglue, buff back, job done. i use to do this with F1 steering wheels

buff back with what? Does it make the scratch invisible?

Put the black super glue into the scratch using something like a pin, go really easy with it. Spit on the superglue (this makes it cure instantly) then leave it for about a hour to set fully.
Rub the dried glue back, starting with 400 grit wet and dry paper using plenty of hot soapy water, go through all the grits of paper, remebering to use fresh water on each change of paper grade.
Go easy with it.
It wont make the scratch invisible but will make it quite hard to notice.
Practice first on a bit of spare CF because you will probally fuck it up the first time.
Your basically replacing the missing resin with a similar resin.
