  • Help!! How to Repair a Scratch on a Carbon Fiber Driver Crown

Try automotive scratch remover.

The as seen on TV GS-27 used to work wonders! Sadly, I can't find it anymore...

If it's not into the weave, clear fingernail polish into the void (multiple coats), wet sand with 1000 grit just to level the repair. Polish with auto scratch remover then wax.

    This might be your best option. Maybe consider an adhesive "skin", if those are still around?

    Well I'm too scared to try anything on the carbon fiber top on this driver. Afraid I'll make it much worse. Just too picky!!! πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί
    I bought it new in the wrapper 2 weeks ago even though it's the 2022 model....only a couple range sessions.
    Guess I could just sell it and one less worry on my plate....πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

      Hammer4413 Well I'm too scared to try anything on the carbon fiber top on this driver. Afraid I'll make it much worse. Just too picky!!!

      Just to recap.

      You posted, with a picture on what to do, please help....

      You get plenty of replies, a couple will work perfectly, but you are " too scared to try anything" ?

        So Mike what would you do if it were your new driver???? Kinda took your comment posted as a negative one towards me.....if not then excuse me.
        I've worked on metal driver surfaces and metal car clean ups for decades BUT NEVER anything carbon fiber. Don't want to make the top crown of a 2 week old driver worse with experimentation, that's just this way this 74 year old Social Security living Senior is.😁😁 Wax won't fill in a scratch you can feel with your fingernail. But it's the only thing I know to try and feel safe knowing it can't hurt it and may improve it somewhat. This business of sanding and repairing the carbon fiber top as per U Tube videos isn't something I'm willing to try as most of those videos were on some form of automobile parts and all had clear coat. A Sharpie will fill in the white portion of the scratch but I don't want to draw further attention to the non glare pattern finish around it.
        I appreciate all my fellow Buzzer contributions and want to say thanks to all.

          get some sheets of high-gloss carbon fiber design vinyl decal/film and cover up the whole crown ????????

            Like Kid Rock said:

            Well Buzzers I went with something I felt safe with. First I used very light auto rubbing compound on the entire crown. Then hand buffed it with cheesecloth. After setting it aside for a bit, I used WD40 and cheesecloth, which improved the overall appearance. The white showing is where the scratch is into the paint and pattern. Gonna let it sit for a while, then put a coat of wax on it.

            You need to fill in the scratch with what looks like a "matt' or "satin" clear first,
            (it appears to be a fairly deep scratch)
            then wet color sand lightly with say a 1000 grit followed by some fine cut cleaner.
            Then it'll look like nothing ever happened!πŸ˜‰

            Do a search on Youtube. There are several videos on this subject... mostly for car parts but same same. You will need to fill the void with something as stated above and then light sanding as needed.
