Advice please

Washed the car today and found a few light scratches across the bonnet. Would I be better to get paint correction from a detailer or can these be removed by hand? Tried Mcguiars Scratch X but not much difference! :ashamed:
Also I was using Mer shampoo to wash the car and Mcguiars tyres gel but these are running low. Any recomendations on what to replace these with? I would like to get them through autoperfection if possible. :smiley:
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. :happy2:

Dodo Juice Born to be mild shampoo is awesome.
For the stratch, do the fingernail test. Run your fingernail overthe scratch. If it catches your nail, it will need painting. If not, can be filled in using a filler polish such as Autoglym Super Resin Polish or polished out using a cutting polish.

Cheers Stealth. Can't feel anything with my nail. Do you recon the Autoglym stuff would be best ? :happy2:

Not completely true. If you can see the clearcoat is broken then you will need a respray. However if you can feel it with your nail but it hasn't broke through clearcoat you will find that it will probably wet send out relatively easily. Take a look on detailing world to see if there are any pro detailers near you.
VAG clearcoat is very hard and you wont touch it with megs scratch x or anything by hand to be honest. I had 2 football marks on my car recently which left lots of marring in sunlight, scratch x didn't touch it, menz on a 4" spot pad by machine left it perfect in one hit

Thank you Winrya, :happy2: How much would I expect to pay for a detailing session? :ashamed:
