Hey Polyvance! love the content. I have a quick question. I have some light scratches and a small nick in the haul from docking on my 2022 GTI SE. what do you recommend I use to buff out the scratches as well as filling the small nick? Any suggestion is appreciated. FYI: the scratches are not deep enough to feel anything when running your nail over them. Thank you in advance!!

On small scuffs, car buffing compound will work well to remove it but it may gloss it up more than you'd expect. I'd try fine grit buffing compound or swirl mark remover. On the gouge, if its not deep, nor causing a problem, I would leave it along. If you want to deburr the edges, lightly sand them with some extremely fine sand paper, then buff.

Thank you!

Great content, what wattage is your welder? I did one repair before using the old recommended rivet and sealant method. I am wanting to try this method this time but considering using a 1300 harbor freight welder as I don’t want to front a large cost yet.

[@polyvance]

The nitrogen welder is 550 watts.

Now how hard do you have to land to break your hull

Specifically spark trixx

I need to fix my hull, have no idea where to begin. Am mechanically inclined but where can I find this weilder or someone to weld my hull once its apart...

[@scottb7600]

Polyvance.com is the place to buy the welder. If you want someone to do it for you, go to a reputable body shop that has a nitrogen welder. Caliber Collisions have them along with many others. You would need to supply them with the fiber reinforced welding rod (PN: R18-04-03-BK) because this is not something they would normally have on hand.

Why nitrogen? Why not just air?

[@scottb7600]

Using heated nitrogen instead of air produces a cleaner, stronger weld. Its similar to using argon shielding gas on a metal weld.
