Scratch repair
« on: 01 March 2006, 22:10 »
Hi all i've looked at a car in really nice condition however has a 30cm key scratch. Would any one recommend a scratch removers like chips away and what are the results like if you've used them?

never used them. what i'd do if it's just paint damage, is mask around the scratch, spray it, and get to work with the elbow grease and T-cut. repeat if needed. you basically end up filling the scratch with paint,  I've done it a few times and have always been more than satisfied with the result as it's totally un-noticeable.  :wink:

I would attempt something myself like i have on my older cars where if it goes wrong, not that it has but it doesnt really matter. This cars worth a fair bit more so id like to try and get it done by a pro.
