Minor Scratches

MacRS4 · 9 Jun 2016 at 13:17

Have a couple of minor scratches from my bike - wouldn't normally bother getting them done until the car was going, but they show up on this colour and they're annoying me.

Are these something ChipsAway type people could fix? Any idea on rough cost?

Boot

Door panel

Get them buffed out, it will be cheaper, go see a detailer for a price

Wet sand and machine polish could work, very hard to say from photo's.

Groovy, thanks.

Yeah, really hard to take photos of them. They're not terrible, they're just irritating me.

I'd try some Meguiars scratch x on those. The result might surprise you.

can u feel the scratches with a nail? if only slightly then it might be worth trying some G3 Scratch Remover (probably similar stuff to the above Maguiars), as I've had some great results over the past few years with G3 and the matching waffle pads.

The boot will polish out easily.

The door looks like it has paint/scuff marks from something else still on it? Or is the paint scratched right off? If its the former that should polish out quite easily too.

It might be worth trying some t-cut or similar (the g3 stuff mentioned above is good) on it, or if you cba just take it straight to a detailer.

I'd like to try and correct those, I doubt you would completely get rid of them (or I wouldn't dare try without paint thickness gauge) but you would minimise them for sure... A Meguires 105/205 combo would work wonders, if you don't have or have access to a rotary then go and see a detailer or body shop.
