Small scratches
« on: 24 March 2009, 09:31 »
My mates got a graphite grey l200 and its got a few surface scratches from trees etc.
Can anyone recommend a good product for getting rid of these? Prices + where to get them from? They would be very appreciative!

Oh yeah! Leafy lanes? Or dogging?  :laugh:

Depends how deep they are really. Could try some T-Cut then a good resin polish.

I have been told that 3m Finesse-It is very good, a friend has been using it on his Cupra R and has removed loads of fine marks with out damaging the paint, I am always a little wary when it comes to T-Cut personally!  The 3M stuff is on Ebay! :smiley:
