What about one of these mobile chips away type guys, I beleive they're quite good. I've used the halfords scratch repair kits for dep scratches before to good effect (after some*beep* keyed the wifes car) Meguiars scratch-x is also supposed to be good if you're after a T-cut type product. _________________ Phil

Cover it with mud! Works for me on a number of levels, scratches already there cannot be seen, new ones only remove the mud not the paint and most importantly in a carpark nobody parks anywhere near you. Presumably they fear the mud to be contagious!!
Sorry to be flippant, will T-cut not work? _________________ Isuzu Trooper SWB 3.0DT Commercial |

If they're too deep for T-cut then its either get it mopped with a cutting compound like G3 (and yes its easy to burn through to the prinmer on areas like corners etc if you don't know what you're doing) or get a chips away type guy to come and paint in the scratches and then a decent cut wax and polish. _________________ Phil

I'm a member of a forum called www.detailingworld.co.uk , have a look and pick up some tips , we use pc orbital polishers with different cutting pastes depending on how bad the scratches are |
