Posted December 6, 200519 yr comment_109328 Have you ever sky marked your brand new fancy driver or fairway wood? :tsg_smile_wah: Here is a way to fix small chips and sky marks on the crown! Take a look at these step by step example images: Small chip from a defied shot. :task_smiley_laughatyou: Step 1: Go to your local auto or hardware store to purchase a touch up paint pen, some 1500 and 8000 waterproof sand paper along with a metal polishing agent. Step 2: Apply touch up paint to clean surface and make sure to let it dry 100% before moving to step 3. Step 3: Very carefully use the 1500 grit sandpaper to remove the excess dried paint. ( make sure it is 100% dry before doing this ) I suggest wrapping it around a pencil. Step 4: Use the the #8000 sand paper to further smooth it out very lightly. Step 5: Apply metal polishing compound and buff to a shine. There you go, chip be gone!

December 8, 200519 yr comment_109596 Great info, I have a friend who could use this as he does tend to put some lousy swings on the ball. :tsg_smilie_whistle: Pity the impatient soul who doesn't let the paint dry completely (read:over night) as the thought of what that would look like makes me cringe.
December 8, 200519 yr comment_109622 This is almost the exact same procedure for repairing a scratch on a car. Great write up! I've had good success with using Meguiar's scratch X on my woods to take out minor scratches that occur from normal use. Then just add a coat of Meguiar's NXT wax and watch that club transform into something beautiful! The wax I have found also helps to reduce the likelyhood of future scratches and pop up marks.

There you go, chip be gone! chri does thismethod work really great onlyon small chips and small skymarks, or doesit work great on scuffs about the size of a quarter/maybe little smaller?
December 11, 200519 yr comment_110115 Does this method get that sparkle shine back to the club? Because, if it does, then it's a great way to buy a club cheap, and fix it up to look new. Great post.
January 21, 200619 yr comment_113664 I use Scratch X and wax myself and it works perfectly for fine swirl marks on Black driver heads and graphite shafts (Speeders Tour Specs in particular). Does anyone notice that Speeders scratch extremely easy??
January 22, 200619 yr comment_113751 Great info - sanding the area could be scary. IMO Liquid Glass is one of the best waxes out ther to get minor scratches out and really gives it a good shine.
January 22, 200619 yr comment_113754 Liquid glass really doesn't do repair work as well as it PROTECTS the head. All my drivers and woods have a MINIMIM of four coats...as do the graphite shafts. Also, a good tip to use when you get scuff marks on the composite heads is silicone.
