Not sure when this happened, yesterday, either at work or in Tesco's, but was putting the car away in the garage and noticed I've acquired a delightful new scuff on the driverside front wheelarch. Because its tastefully done in contrasting white on my black paintwork, I'm inclinded to think "van".
Anyway, it must be fixed. Looks like its a paint only job, panel isn't dinged. I've contacted Chips Away for a quote, but anyone got any suggestions for a good smart repairer in Potters bar/Herts?

You may be able to polish it out depending on the deep of the scratch/scuff. If you cant feel it with your fingernail you can usually polish it out. Post up some pictures

No, unfortunately it definitely won't polish out. As for pics, I'm a computer spaz, so not a goer.

I have tried chips away on my wifes metallic black Touran.
Finish was not the best, dull compared to the rest of the car.
I think they struggle with Metallics.

Not as a rule smile

Anyway, to the OP's question, I can personally recommend SuperScuffs

Though he's a little way from you in Bedfordshire, you may be able to persuade him to come to you? He's certainly got plenty of experience.

I have no connection with his business.

Think yourselves lucky. I got "clonked" by an artic in slow moving traffic last week (narrow lanes, rain, yaddah yaddah) leaving me with a lovely dent in the near-side rear wheel arch. Body-shop tomorrow. Not really what I wanted for my birthday by but hey.
