Sorting a scratch! :)

GreenMint · 29 Oct 2008 at 22:41

Hey guys, my gf got a bit of a long scratch down the door of her car today, not very deep, but she'd like to get it sorted asap, its not too deep as though you can feel it with a fingernail or anything like that, she's been suggested 3 products:

Meguiars Scratch X
Carlack 68 - Scratch Remover Paste
Turtlewax Safe Cut

I'm sure I've seen Meguiars Scratch X suggested on here for this kinda thing a few times, but just wanted to check? Car is a Silver MGF.

Not the clearest pics as we took them tonight, will grab some more tomorrow

Scratch X should get it out fine with a bit of hard rubbing

If you can feel it with a fingernail, ScratchX won't be enough; I've tried. (Just to confirm it)

I used some T-Cut Scratch remover to get rid of my scratch : http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17930943&highlight=startername_topgun06

With a bit of good rubbing it did the job.

At least we got to post 7 without the HGF comments! Was hoping no one would see that

Yeah, well, your Porsche, err...umm...go away!

If you can feel it with your nail then you will need to flat the area with some very fine wet and dry first then use a cutting compound to restore the area.

I wouldnt advise this though if you've never used the stuff on paint and it has to be fine wet and dry. Using a cutting/polishing compound will at the least minimize it
