Some dozy, lowlife, idiotic .... tied their shoe by leaning their foot against my car, just next to the petrol cap the other day. Result? a lovely collection of gritty scratches showing white primer.

Gits. Bring back capital punishment. Cue *that* Pulp Fiction quote.

Anyhow, having been most impressed with the WaxWizard stuff so far, I offered Mark a challenge knowing he was coming to the Northern Meet IV: sort 'em out.

He goes one better than that and sends a small sample of "WW Cleanse Number 4" with instructions.

All scratches apart from one (about 4 mm long) have just gone. I do not know how it works given that I'm *sure* these (10-12 of em) were down to primer, but it has. The one that's left has become much less obvious and, looking at the paint, is a "dent" in the paintwork now. Wierd.

I wish I'd taken a before and after photo, because I'm stunned.

Anyone with similar problems may want to give this a bash. No guarantees, but I'm amazed!

(OK, T-Cut may have done the same, but I trust WW, and now Mark is elevated to Godlike in my eyes. I don't know what it does, and I probably don't want to)

Don't ask me about the water blade thing for drying your car either, as I'll sound like a sodding advert for the guy.

I purchased a Water Blade not from Mark it was about £15.00.

It is guaranteed to be less abrahsive than a chamois and saves 75% of chamoising time.

Along with Marks wax (which I recieved this morning and promptly put on my chariot) is the best thing in my now large cleaning kit.

Get one get on get one, they are the nuts.

Thumbs up

I have fallen victim to scratches on my car as well, but unfortunately cannot blame anyone but myself. Got a bit carried away during a cleaning session and can now see patches of grazed paintwork.


If this WaxWizard stuff is capable of waving it's magic wand over this I'll have a bottle ASAP.

Can you provide contact details please.

Mark,

Thanks for dropping off some cleanser and Wax. From what you showed me on some of the scratches I had, this stuff is superb.

Cheers,
Dazzler
