Are you sure he said steel wool?


2000 (I prefer 3000 for such purposes) grit wet/dry sand paper and "polishing" compound will get out most scratches that you cannot feel with your fingernail.

But in all my years as a bodyshop owner, I never heard of anyone using steel wool on a painted surface.


Best you stay away from this guy if that is what he plans to use.
