Not what I wanted to find.
When in the process of washing and polishing my ZTT today I found someone had left me a nice big vertical scratch in the front nearside door.
With some careful use of Meguairs Ultimate compound polish and Extra Gloss Protector I think I have done quite a good job of removing the scratch. Before: After: Last edited by Nev The Bear; 30th July 2017 at 17:43.. |

That's a good result, I didn't know you can polish out scratches like that.

Nice save! A great pity you were obliged to fix the scratch in the first place though

WOW that looks brilliant! I have a few exactly like yours on my paintwork but am clueless on how to deal with them.
Would you mind giving a mini tutorial on how you did it - because it is very impressive and I would love to get the same results without mucking it up! Thanks Kev

That's a dreadful mess Clyde, makes my blood boil when folk are so careless around a vehicle that is quite clearly cherished.
Well done on achieving such a high level of correction - top job! Cliff

Great job, well done young man. Shame it had to be done in the first place
Be interested to know if you did it by hand or with the use of a polishing machine ! Last edited by whitegold; 2nd March 2017 at 15:48.. |
