hi all, my black 1.6 has suffered a fair few scratches and a dint. A friend reckons I should use T cut to get the light scratches out but I'm concerned that's a bit drastic. Anyone any thoughts on those black/ colour polishes or any other ideas?
Also, what's the best way to get a safeway trolley dint out (about 2cm round)?
ta for any thoughts!
Slightly OT, about scratches on me CC

Well the colour polishes do a good job but arn't a permanent solution. Thats why I tend to use T-Cut wherever suitable.
T-Cut which the trade use has given me good results over the years. It doesn't just remove stubborn marks and tars but light scatches also.
The trick seems to me to know when and when not to T-Cut. T-Cut will only really work for lighter shallower scratches that haven't broken into the primer underneath.
I apply a little T-Cut on a cloth and circle it in with the one finger. A little laquer will come off but the scatch should disappear as the paintwork is gently rubbed down to the level below the scratch and this can then be polished afterwards to bring back the gloss shine.
I always take care not to go to far so a periodical wipe off to see if its enough I find best.

No, I had a dent you couldn't barely even see (you could feel it though!) and looked in the yellow pages and took it to Dent Devils - they did a superb job. Try the yellow pages under "car body repairs" for your local one... Pauline
