My car suffers from handbag scratches from the previous lady owner, which are annoying me  especially noticeable when I wash and polish the car.To the knowledgeable detailers on here  What is the best method of removing these light scratches? I've tried using Scratch X but, the scratches re-appear over time again. I've heard that using a PC can remove these, what are the proven best products which could be used on a Montreal Blue BMW to totally remove these? TIA rob  |

Before you try any products, make sure you arent adding to the problem - check to see whether your handbag isnt causing scratches too.

if you are doing it by hand i would buy some Menzerna Final Polish and some german applicators (Both available from polished bliss) http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pb81polish.html - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pb81polish.html http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pb68polish.html - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pb68polish.html
Use the white side of pad and work the polish in well (hard work)
this should take out minor scratches If it don`t then you will need some sort of machine
I have some of above that i could maybe send a sample down to you to try ------------- Previous: E36 318is coupe, E36 323i coupe, E30 316 saloon, E30 318 saloon, E46 330ci Sport Conv E92 325d M Sport(3.0),With Loads of gadgets Current: 116i Sport F20 |
