Minor incident

robjf · 20 Feb 2006 at 14:41

Was out with some friends the other day, came to parking up for a bit and as usual we try to get the cars as close togethor as possible. When my friend was reversing there was a slight movement in my car which made me shout stop, and theres now nice scuff marks on my car, but luckily there are no serious dents as far as i can see. I shall get the pictures later but how do you think i should proceedd, what is the best way to remove the white paint which is on my car (his is white, mines green)

T cut will do the job, or if it's a little more serious then rubbing/polishing compound should do it.

If you have some scratches once you remove the white paint that Scratch X suppost to be good.

A friend of mine recently told me about a polishing compound called G3 I think.

Supposed to be very good and you can pick it up for £5 or so off the 'bay.

I've got a big bottle of Farécla G3 liquid - it's a very good paint renovator but always remember to thoroughly polish and wax the car afterwards. It turned my 205 from orange to red

Oh cool, cheers guys, but how should i get the white of his paint off too start with?

Try T-Cut.

Lopez, could G3 remove surface scratches from paint work? My car is covered with them from the lazy winter months when I took the car to the jetwash

About £50-£100 by one of them guys that comes out to you I'd guess, depends how big/bad the scratches are.
