Unhappy

Was using a kitchen sponge/scourer to get rid of bugsplats today and used the scouring bit on the front bumper without realising. DOH! I now have various patches of unidirectional scratches which are very shallow. What's the best technique for getting rid of them?
A: Clean off all wax/polish and reapply hoping to fill the scratches with wax?
B: Use the finest grade T-cut, then re-wax?
C: with the T-cut method do I go at right angles to the scratches, or do something else?

It's a premium silver forester by the way, and all ideas appreciated!

Question

I've used Zymol to remove cat scratches b4... that might work provided they aren't too deep !

Cool

Why not try speaking to Mr Wax Wizard himself - Mark Underwood. I have some of his products and he is always giving excellent advise on here.

Sorry I haven't got his number, but you could post in General FAO Mark Underwood

I'm sure he'll find this thread, besides, I'm not in mainland UK, so I can't just ask him to pop round and sort them out! They really are shallow, it's just that they show up due to the angle light hits them.

Toerag...I have come across this problem before many a time!

However the problem you have is relatively simple to resolve! I can make two prepararations for you which will cost your £18 and about 30 mins of your time.

You need to call me on 07966 713177 or I think from guernsey 0044 7966 713177
