As you all know, we love the gleam of our TVR's, especially in the night under the street lights.

Recently I've noticed that there are faint scratches and scuffs on my cars body. The gleam is still there, but real close up, if you're looking for them, you can notice them!

This has really pissed me off, and I want to get them off, I know that they're only on the laquer.

But I have no idea of what to do or where to go to get anything done.
I dont talk to my dealer much more, they're all a bunch of con-artists. Ever since I started doing my own work on the car, it runs sweeter than ever.

I want the scratch free surface back.

Anyone got any pointers?????

I think it was the chamois I was using to dry the car after a wash.

They are very light and faint, you cant see them at all. Only in the dark, and putting your head on the adjacent to the body surface and looking across the panel, can you see them.

Everybody keeps saying wax it. But what wax? How shall I wax it???? Who knows any professionals who can do it???? and I most definitely want a permanent job, and not a fake seal till next car wash or two.

I cant get to sleep properly till I know how I can get this sorted. She is a beauty, and I just cant stand knowing that the body can look smooth and showroom shiny and it isnt.

I mean, why the hell are TVR still using laquer???? This new high-gloss-super-poly is what everyone else is using nowadays, I wouldnt have to put up with faint scuffs and scratches due to chamois drying if they had used the more modern paint finishes????? Forget the stone chips - they're another nuisance.

Thanks, I'll try Zymol.

Does anyone know how much it actually costs to get the whole car re-laquered???
