But I had heard of some product that Turtle Wax produced that was meant to be quite good, how did I here about it I hear you ask well the story Go's..... Around were I live we have the usual Nova/Saxo "Crew" and there is one Nova In question which is Painted in Ford St Orange and as I understand has a Calibra red Top in it! Anyway all of the local Gypsy Racers love it and Think its the Mutts Nuts, So I here all of the story's in the Pub Like.. "Ohh He Raced a 911 and Owned him Bludd", Sooo I was on the A30 (Local Dual Carriageway) in the RS2 and This Bright Orange Nova Came right up my Arse.... Obviously the race that in-sued Never went past 70 Mph Hahahahaha Long story short! A couple of days later he came up to me in town and was amazed that a big old Audi had left him in the dust... Making conversation I asked him how he Kept paint so nice and he told me about Turtle Wax Colour Magic

stunning mk3 chap absolutly stunning :wink:
just for the record turtle wax products are completly pointless useless the list goes on, waist of money. I HATE THE STUFF :evil:

your scratch repair is at best a quick fix, that will wash out eventually and your back to square one, look at my scratch repair thread in the faq and guides section. permanent fix with tlc thrown in for good measure.

many moons ago down my way there was a chap that had a nova with a red top calibra engine,yes it was quick but would never eat a 911 or an rs turbo for that matter, some people really talk some sh1t sometimes.

I agree that if you can feel the scratch it is too deep to polish out. However, by machine polishing you can round off the edges of the scratch which makes it a lot less obvious as the light does not reflect off the rounded edges. Someone knowing what they were doing could really make a huge improvement to that scratch. May be worth a try before a respray.
