jaysVR6 2 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Oooo mate. You know what I'd do? Get down to a reputable body shop and get them to buff it out, if you ask nicely they may even do it for nothing!Surley it's even worth a tenner no? Link to post Share on other sites

badboyV6 4 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 use a 60 grit and do it dry john - initial scratches are normal ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I know the feeling though, it's just niggling away at you isn't it? Right in the back of your head and every time you look at the car it's the first thing you see. Aaarrrrgghh it makes you feel sick doesn't it?!

Snedboy 0 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 There's nothing wrong with using 1200wet n dry to flatten polish paintwork!!Just needs a good buff once it's done.Thats what i use when i paint cars coz it's quicker than using 2000+ paper.Take it u aint got a polish machine then best bet is to take it to a bodyshop and ask them to give it a quick buff over and everything will be fine.

stockers 1 Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 well i spent the best part of an hour and a half polishing them out by hand, it looks ok, kinda matches the swirl marks now Link to post Share on other sites
28v6r 0 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Its a pity you're not visiting Scotland in the near future ( .. could have properly buffed it all out for nought! Have all the right tools and polishes to restore it for you.. pity really... !sad Link to post Share on other sites
