Scratch in Van Covers
If there is more than a minor chip or scratch in van covers, use the fine sandpaper to feather out its edges. Keep a small pan of water on hand, and frequently dip the paper before lightly buffing the scratch. Be sure to confine the sanding to the immediate area, and let the paper do the work, not the pressure of your hand. If an aerosol spray paint is used, spray a dab into the cap and allow it to air dry for a minute or so. After you dab in the paint, allow it to dry for about an hour.Use the 600 grade paper and plenty of water to lightly buff the new paint to make it even. Finish with some white polishing compound applied with a clean, damp rag to lightly blend in the new paint and polish up the surrounding paint that may have been dulled a little bit by the sandpaper.
