Caught in two minds whether to sell or keep (merely to replace with another 75, preferably a v6 again). So a good clean will probably be beneficial either way.
I have a couple of supermarket scratches which could do with some attention; why should my bonnet be thought a suitable place to park a fully loaded, metal-studded shopping bag? Wondered about using ChipsAway, any thoughts?

You're very welcome. You and many many others including me at the moment as I have a huge amount of house stuff going on.

Ah, the awkward question - to sell and buy, or keep. Yes, either way a good clean is a great idea.
Removal of scratches depends upon how deep they are. As a rough guide, if you can "catch" them with a fingernail then they need paint, if not they'll probably polish out. Like Baxlin says if you use a polish with fillers that may well do the job. Look for a "glaze" something like

As for ChipsAway, get a quote and see. Done properly the results will be fine.
Cheers.
