Default What the best filler for light scratches that works with Werkstatt?

AAaggh, only a few months ago had I polished with Autoglym paint renovator the haze that was on my bonnet and I now have quite a few lightish scratches. I have no idea how they got there but it is quite obvious and very annoying.

I dont really want to polish them out as Im a bit nervous about polishing too much lacquer away having used quite a fairly abrasive method already on the haze so am thinking about using a filler. What filler would work best with the Werkstatt acrylic that I use? I have some Autoglym SRP but I remember people saying that they wouldn't use the two products together out of choice so what would be best?

R222 Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser will be ideal. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...-cleanser.html

Use Werkstat Acrylic Prime, then R222, the Jett Trigger.

That looks perfect. Looking at the description though it say that it strips away waxes and sealants so wouldn't it strip away the base layer from the Acrylic prime?

Yes, it will strip the base layer of protection Prime leaves, but Prime is a better chemical paint cleanser than R222 so it's good to use it first, then R222 to fill, the Jett Trigger to seal.

Excellent, thanks. I need to place an order for a couple of things but noticed the 'Our next round of special offers will go live early in the spring...'
When is this going live?
