Help please surface scratches

Hi all, can anyone advise me on whats the best method for polishing out surface scratches on my R75 (MIDNIGHT BLUE), seems to be so many on the market to use but what would be the best, or would it be best to get it done professionally??.

Depends on how deep the scratches are.

Rule of thumb is; if you run your finger nail across the scratch and it catches, then it's too deep to polish out.

If your talking about swirls, then look in the valeting forum, there's an informative piece by Emps on how to remove them.

But, if you've not got a machine polisher, then it a lot of hard work by hand.
