Evening all

It appears that in the last 2 weeks (i.e. between washes!) someone has hit my bumper and left some light scratching in places - very barely visible if the car is dirty, but aggravating after I've spent several hours cleaning the bloody thing!

Rather than losing my rag, I thought I'd be pragmatic - it could be worse!

So - is this a job for T-Cut or is there something better/safer to use for hairline scratches? would be applied with a micro fibre by hand on - I don't have a DA polisher.

The bloody car is pristine otherwise grrr…!

How about some colour (color) match polish? I think they also come with a hard wax stick for fine scratches.

This the one? not seen this before but looks interesting - think I will give it a try.

Thanks!

Where abouts are you?

there are plenty of scratch removers available these days, Meguiers Scratch X, or Ultimate compound are good, other wise colour polishes work well too.
At home mate - why, you're not going to break in are you? (I kid I kid - Staffordshire/Stoke)

Really interesting all this - never had excuse to use one before, but look like some quality suggestions. Really useful - thanks all.

If you happen to be near Worthing in Sussex, give me a shout and I'll run a polisher over it for you.
A bit of a journey though!
We use all sorts of compounds and waxes at work but we still have a big tin of good ol' T-cut that gets used nearly everyday. It really is very good smile
Quite a journey but a really kind offer - thanks mate <3
