Best way to buff out a scuff/scratch?

[andymadmak]

Oh dear!
Mrs Madmak reversed her Toyota bus into the wedge this afternoon. glancing blow down the drivers side rear wing
Amazingly, despite her bumper losing most of its paint, and developing a large split, the wedge is completely in one piece so far as I can tell. No fine cracks or anything!
Once I had cleaned the Toyota paint off it I could still make out a sort of surface scuff/fine scratches. The paint is not broken or down to the primer anywhere. It looks just like someone has scuffed their shoe on a polished floo. r
Anyone know how I can get these off (T cut hasn't really done it) or is it a repaint job?

PS Mrs Madmak is recovering nicely....... I am receiving guilt driven "intensive care"!

Leave it as a visible battle scar and string out the 'intensive care' thing for longer.

As the man said
Meguires scratch X and use a soft towel to apply

Brasso long term copper or silver polish. Much cheaper option and first class for exactly what you describe.

And get the missus to apply the elbow grease.

My wife has a large Toyota 4wd which now makes me nervous of a similar situation as they dont look when reversing!

I'm surprised T - Cut doesn't do it.

I've used the showroom stuff in the past - a finer form of T - Cut with various additives including a petrol base, that polishes as well. This got rid of some letters softly scratched into my Jag bonnet lid and some other marks rather successfully. Car showrooms use it.

This is the stuff that dries white as you put it on and you then polish it bright.

Talking about paint jobs and wives are you.
All wives should be kept away from cars and painted white like other domestic appliances!

Only joking of course ouch ouchhonest

No dear I really am sorry
