Well, it happened…I was stupid and didn’t park my 2023 Mazda3 in the garage. Someone keyed my hood. But it didn’t appear to cut through the clear. I haven’t taken pictures of the damage yet as I’d like to not involve the insurance company. I’m posting this to see if anyone else has had experience with buffing Mazdas?. I know that Mazda paint is very soft, and I have some experience with buffing but not much. I also hear that the Soul Red paint is the worst of them all. If I attempt to buff it out, should I avoid wet sanding altogether and just try to get it out with the buffer? I have a car show in 3 weeks and really like to avoid having the car in the body shop getting repainted lol.
