Scratch Removal from Car

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a place that does a good job at removing scatches. I accidently went crazy with a sponge leaving loads of scratches on my new car. :help: They are not too deep so I think they could possibly be sorted out.

 

Any recommendations would be great

T Cut wont damage it, or try some coloured wax.

You've got to be joking mate. T-cut is one step away from using a scouring pad.

 

Take it to a reputable bodyshop. They'll let you know if the scratches can be buffed out. And while you're there, ask 'em if they ever use T-cut... :o

I'm not joking, I've used T Cut loads of times and never had any problems with it. If the scratches are only light and are in the clear lacquer coat, T Cut, in my experience will get rid of them.

T-cut only gets rid of scratches by removing the material they were in in the first place :roll:

 

You don't use T-cut on a new car as removing the laquer will invalidate your anti-corrosion warranty.

 

I'd try a good clear wax on it first, then seek professional help if it looks no better ;)

If we are talking about swirl marks and light scuffs I would recommend, T cut then a coloured polish then a quality wax, plenty of elbow grease.

 

If we are talking about anything deeper then you will need a provisional job.

I think theres a mobile scratch repairer especially for this type of job, I can't remmeber the name but I'm sure its a national franchise, try googling you might have some luck

 

If its Chips away you're thinking of, I know it is a franchise and so I can't call them all but you can still see every scratch they have repaired on my car.

Rather than T.Cut I prefer Autoglym cutting polish, and then a good coat of wax. If its good enough for Aston Martin........
