scratches

:devil: There I am, hanging nets at the window in a flat (just call me Mabel), when a guy reverses into the space behind my car. He looked bl**dy close - too close to the bumper corner. He got out of his car, folded both his mirrors (manually) and then walked to the back of my car. Guess...

A couple of years ago I retrofitted illuminated door sills. Over time, they have become scratched mainly where I have got in and out of the car. They are quite light scratches, but very noticable in sunlight. Any ideas on the best way to remove these scratches? I think the sills are made from...

Hello, Putting in the new head unit today, as the cable for the CDchanger was way back I had to twist the head unit too close from the dash and I scratch the varnish on the wook panels :( Is there a way of getting rid of the scratches? Like a buffer or something? Thank yu. Olivier

Guys, what would you recommend for removing medium scratches and swirl marks by hand on a medium blue car? Looking at Megs Swirl X, Scratch X and Ultimate compound. Foam or Microfibre pad? TIA

After my success with the deep scatch on my TT I decided to see if I could improve the appearance of some bad scratches on the 450. These ones are worse than the one on the TT, they are right through the clearcoat to the basecoat so no chance to completely remove them. Here we go, these are...

Last night the local scum decided to trash a few things as they crawled through the estate. Came out this morning to find a plastic planter near the car and a pile of soil on the roof. After rinsing the soil off I find some scratches in the paintwork. Looks like the planter had some time...

Hi, In my 2000 Mercedes A140 Classic, I've noticed that when I turn my lights on the lights show through what appears to be scratches on the blower control (temperature). It looks like someone has scratched the black paint or whatever it is and the light is just coming through and looks...

If there are any detailers reading this could you give me a rough price to polish out light scratches and swirls on a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I only really need the scratches and swirls removed as I'm quite happy to clay, polish and wax it myself afterwards. I just think it's a bit of a waste...

I have a few scratches on the drivers door window, obviously caused by dirt/grit in the window rubber, apart from fitting another window, will anything get the scratches out?

Anyone seen or used this product from Simoniz? I caught this on TV at some mad o’clock in the morning time, having dozed off. Apparently this takes care of all those irritating scratches that appear mysteriously without explanation while your car was tucked up in the garage. :rolleyes: Looks...

Hi, I've just inherited a C180 Elegance (2002) in beautiful condition, inside and out. The only problems are the two long (medium depth) scratches in the lacqured wooden trim running down either side of the automatic gear stick. Does anyone have any ideas how they can be removed or can...

Tonight some half-wit scraped the back bumper of my car while trying to pull past me to park. No bump, just a scraping noise. Got straight out and checked and there are some scratched in the bumper. Nothing major and impossible to see unless you get to ground level and look very carefully...

Hi All I have just been to look at a 55 plate 220cdi and was puzzled to find lots and lots of light scratches around the drivers door lock. I looks like a key fob has been swinging and scratching the paintwork - all very light but very visible. The key fob works so I am wondering what caused...

(hope I'm using the new Detailing forum correctly) This morning driving in to the sun rise I noticed 1000's of fine scratches on my windscreen. I've used Autogylm products before but wondered if there was anything else that members can recommend. I don't have an electric polisher, so a product...

My 560SEL's paint is in remarkable mint shape... but that all changed after someone's good intention went bad when they took my car to an automated carwash. The brushes in the car wash caused TONS of tiny micro scratches in the clearcoat. The scratches are strangely only on the side body and not...

Hi, I've got a 1999 CLK ... and with German build quality there is a fair amount of rust! :mad: Now I’d like to treat it, and stop it in its tracks! I've been reading up all over the place. I've found that Hammerite doesn't seem up to much. Bilt Hamber seems new and a possible good bet, but...

Hi All, What's the best method to buff up yer lamps?
