How do I remove/mask that annoying scratch?
#1
I was jet washing my car the other day when the brush end fell of as I was cleaning my front wing... The result was a scratch which wasn't very deep but left a light blue line on my dark blue paintwork. I tried to polish it out with colour magic, but it only faded slightly. Can anybody recommend a good product for this kind of thing? If not, would a body repair shop have any other ways of removing it apart from a re-spray of the whole front wing (which really isn't necessary as it's only fairly minor, just a bit annoying)?

Halfords to a scratch repair kit - cleaning pad, colour stick (looks like a lipstick !) & a polishing cloth.
I have heard varied reports on these - certainly it wasn't that good on my silver Scoob - but have heard that its better on darker colours....anyone comment ?

the wax wizard. His products got rid of a scratch the missus put right along the side of my car from the metal tip of an umbrella!

Chips Away can sort without having to spray the whole wing - reasonably priced too I think (less than 100 quid). Or try AutoGlym Paint renovator, has worked wonders on several of my families cars - I'm sure there is a Wax Wizard equiv but not tried it.....
Also - colour magic is a bit of a gimic really - all modern paint is sprayed on and then a clear laquer applied over the top, therefore you aren't recolouring the paint - only the laquer......

If the scratch is not completely through to the primer,the white underneath, then try masking off round about the scratch and apply a few coats of clear laquer ,worked for me many a time !
