paintwork

Anybody ged any suggestions for how to protect the paint on the upper surface of the rear bumper from the dog's claws as they leap into the back of my W210 estate? Getting rid of the dogs is not an option, according to the management. Are their any lacquer-type products that would do the...

Right, slowly getting to the bottom of the engine problems on the old girl and am looking at bodywork now. The car is/was red, but has masses of laquer peel and paint fade where the laquer has peeled. Does anyone know wether a bodyshop could 'repair' the finish rather than a full respray...

Hiya Chaps I,ve seen some cars around town with a matt black finish, didnt really like it at first, buts its growing on me. Anyone have any idea which bodyshop would be able to do this?

Just thought I would share this useful accessory - found it advertised in Telegraph motoring supplement - my car is only 2 years old and rear bumper at tailgate was already looking a bit scruffy from dog claws etc - MB offer nothing to protect the paint from such scuffing so this usefully...

Right, Spring is coming and I will be polishing and waxing. I know Silver is one of the worst colours to get a deep shine, but is there a polish that can get the most from the colour? Ta Gary
