They have great products for this, without damaging the paint. Look for the Light Cut product.

Been there. My step-cat (came with the marriage) would be all over my convertible mustang. Most any rubbing compound will get the fine kitty scratches off the paint. My convertible top was a different story. There is another product that works, it's called buckshot. It comes in a shell and you need a special applicator made by Browning, or Remington or Weatherby...

I use turtle wax rubbing compound and a good wax like Zymol. I had good results others might have good results with other products.

Thumbs up

I had the same problem;my neighbors cat kept getting on my truck.Finally,I snuck up on him 2-3 times with a hose spray and that cured the problem.Every now and then when I see him walking across his yard I spray the hose at him and he runs like hell!

I hear you on the D*m cats... my uncle's farm has wild cats, he has to have at least 40 of them at anyone time, if he shoots one today there's 5 more tomorrow!

A good way to get rid of anything you don't like is with a kennel warped with a black garbage bag over it and a piece of flexible pipe from your exhaust to a hole in the garbage bag....that should take care of them!....It works too


(ps: I have not killed any cats with it but skunks I have)

There is a product made by Klasse out of Germany. Its not a wax, or a polymer compound but an acrylic sealant. Its application is a bit tough but with any quick detailer; it comes off clean. I have a couple of layers on my truck and not even dust has a chance to cling. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of shine you can get out of it just check out my "2004 Ford F150 4x4 - Halo, 14k Later" album.

I've had good luck with products from a company called "Poorboy's World". They can be found on the web. I have their professional polish and sealant with carnuba and resins from 2002. I use to use them religously but got lazy for the last 6 years or so and went to a common store bought wax, no polish. Well I had gotten, over the years, scratches on my truck hood from pushing the snow and ice off the hood. I had some Poorboy's polish and sealant left from 2002. I used it in late October 2007 and as of today the scratches are still not showing, though it could use another wax or sealant coat . I find that using microfiber cloths gives a better end finish. I do everything by hand, and boy is my truck with it's high cap HUGE !

If yoi go with the Browning or Weatherby tool, a plastic milk jug on the end of the barrel will quite the shell noise. Good for one application only though.

I like prowax products, they make several different cleaners and scratch removers like the p-27Q scratch remover or the p-40 clear coat cleaner also the p-31 #1 polish works great for light scratches.
