Best plan for scratch removal
 
Got a black blob and in th esun light you can notice quite a few light scratches. What is the best course of action and any products to get light scratches out of my paint work.

A good bit of AG Super Resin polish and a bit of elbow grease should do the trick or if that doesnt get them out id defo recommend investing in a machine polisher especially being a black car they can be a bugger to keep clean but they look awesome when they are all polished up :D

Most places that sell car cleaning stuff will sell Auto Glym, Halfrauds have 3 for 2 on at the mo though so you could get applicator pads and id also recommend a sheepskin wash mitt too - that'll help prevent further scratches and swirl marks :thumb:

You could take it to your nearest body shop and ask them to give it a mop & pollish? About £80 should do it.

Ok only Auto Glym nothing overly special then. That will do the job?

Depends what your budget is to be honest, if youve got enough id defo invest in a machine polisher. Ive always used AG polish on all my cars and it does the trick :thumb:

Are they scratches or swirls ?

Auto glym SRP alone might not just get rid of either .

First try this forum it`s full of useful info http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/index.php

As for a machine polisher then (special offer atm).

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-S...f=pd_sim_diy_3

Recomended on the above forum. Oh and by me :thumb:

pads you`ll need for the above polisher
Ebay item number 190399791281 (3pk cheapest i`ve found)

And finally

A link to what can be done with the above polisher (i know it`s not black but you get the idea)
