Is this abrasive enough to "sand" down a touch up paint area? I need to remove a little touch up paint to make the area even with the rest of the car

no, don't think so. i'd get some fine grit (3000) sand paper to wet sand the area. like this stuff http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005RNGL9O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1. then go rubbing compound, polish, etc.

it should help loosen the paint. However, you will still need to use some sort of abrasive on the radiator. Sand blasting would be best.

I would not use it as a general polish for all over the car. It appears to be formulated to remove scratches and swirl marks from paint. For a general polish, I would use a clay bar.

This will sand, remove anything your looking to remove. I bought it for a deck project. It removed 1/4" from treated "(wet)" boards with very little effort. The only thing I would caution you with, is it is an animal! Not for light sanding work.

Man I'm sorry to hear that. If the key scratch goes through the clear coat I don't think this will help. This is for the spider webs and swirls you see in the sun in your paint. I don't know if you have a buffer but I would start with a more aggressive polish (V34 or V36?) on the orbital and work your way up. If you don't have a machine find a detailer. It would probable be cheaper that way and he will do it right.

I would try with caution as it is semi abrasive on some surfaces maybe try in a inconspicuous area to see how it works. Personally I would not try it on my windshield.

If your scratches are truly minor, this would work, but use it only where needed. Your original finish is probably better as is if it is in "good" condition. Use this on the scratches and follow up with a true wax, not a polish, on the rest of the car.

I don't think so. It has a veneer finish which I don't think you can sand in order for the paint to adhere. I'm not a big DIY person so maybe someone else has a better opinion.

No. This has a mild action and can be stopped with very little effort. It's primary use is for light detail polishing.

This sander is used to prepare a vehicle for priming or repainting. You can use 6 inch "self-stick" sand paper - 200 to 600 grit. This tool is used to finish sand or feather edge primer or paint. This tool is not a grinder - you do not use it to strip old down to the metal. This tool is not used to polish or wax a vehicle - it spins much too fast.

Not abrasive in my opinion. It feels gritty, but doesn't hurt. I don't recall any removal instructions.

It could. It's a powder coated metal so it's smooth, but if you were to move it around a lot then I have no doubt that it could damage the paint. That being said, no damage so far over here.

No touch ups yet. I've driven the car to the top sail island in nc recently, then back to stl. No chips, no wear, no fading. But remember, it's a matte so it needs a nice shine once in a while (normally just rinse with water). The car's been thru the automatic car wash as well, and still holding up just fine. :)

not all polish has abrasive, it depends on the condition of your paint. if it is still in the 'it just got out from showroom' condition then you may skip the ult polish.

I've only used it on metal and plastic. I did not sand... I did clean the surfaces quite well though... ;-) This paint has a metal fleck appearance though is more flat than glossy and not as reflective as one might think. It's a very cool looking paint.

No. the abrasive is not good for steel or very hard surfaces, plastics, wood or soft metals like aluminium or copper will do fine.

Yes, I use it on small rust spots all the time and there is no need to sand first. I just wipe off the excess; it hasn't ever affected the surrounding paint. It will leave a film that can be easily wiped off. It works great. No need to use primer, just paint right after it drys.
