Clear Coat Repair

I have been studying this for awhile. I purchased a video on gel repair and have been doing a lot of reading. If the clear is over polyflake it depends if it has gone into the flake. You are suppose to be able to tell if the tips flake in the scratch are silver instead of the color of the rest of the flake. If this is the case it is much more involved than if it is not through the clear. I emailed the guy who made the video and he was nice enough to despond to me a couple of times. Use some aggressive compound to to scuff the inside of the scratch. Clean the scratch with acetone really really well. Apply clear gel coat with the tip of a toothpick fill the scrape a little above flush spray with parting fluid to allow gel coat to harden or they say you can put wax paper over the repair to remove the air. When repair has dried sand with 320 800 and 1200 wet sand paper to remove scraches. When you are satisfied with the look you should buff it twice first time with a fast cutting compound and then with a finishing compound. I am going to be getting into my repair soon. I will share info if you like. If anybody else has ant input or would like to correct any of this please feel free. I am no expert just sharing what I have seen and read.

I want to add to my above reply that everybody has told me sometimes less is more when it comes to grinding and filling a small scratch. You should definitely try and buff or sand out scratches before going the gel coat route.
