Sorry to hear about your paint.

Think yourself lucky you didnt get someone Tw*T run over your roof and leave 5 F**k off big dents in it like me.

I'd be in jail if i caught them.

Best thing for minro scrathes is some colour wax with T-cut etc in it. It can help bring a bit of colour to it and hide it if its light enough.

Meguirs Scratch X works pretty well and it doesn't remove layers of paint like T Cut. Depends how bad the scratches are.

I had lots of swirl marks after being lazy through the winter and sticking the scoob through a car wash (Flame suit on!!). Scratch X has got rid of the majority.

autoglim, u can paint renovator, which is like a T-cut works very well. its what i use for any litle scratchs and have done for years.

Sorry to hear it mate, I had I light scratch in my escort cab a couple of years ago I cleaned it up, then put touch up paint just in the scratch then t-cut over it leaving a small amount just in the scratch, never perfect but hid the scratch quite well….

I got some 'scratch fix' from the wax wizard (Mark Underwood) to remove scratches caused by brambles and one of those green & yellow scouring pads , it worked really well.

autoglym paint renovator - much less abrasive than T-Cut, then finish off with super resin polish - good as new (done this a fair few times now!)

im with u ScoobyJawa i have used autoglim on all my cars. my old red golf lost some of its colour and the paint renovator brought it all back up shinny again.

sounds interesting that paint renovator. Does it work with slightly faded bodywork ? ...

Swissol cleanser fluid will also get rid of light scratches easily and without stripping a layer of paint off the car

brett, it sure does. The golf i had the boot lid had gone almost white with the the sun on it. the paint renivator brought it all off and the colour back again. finished it off with a couple of coats of polish and it was shinnyer than the rest of the car
