Title: light scratches on black paintwork
Post by: bjbpirelli on February 09, 2011, 01:20:47 pm

Hi there,

Just wanted some advice on polishing. I have a black gti pirelli and when its clean i notice lots of very light white scratches. (so annoying!)

Whats the best way to get rid of them?

Thanks for any help!

Ive used Sonus sfx-2 on my black gti by hand and had good results its not perfect but a lot better,

And followed on with Poorboys black hole glaze which will help to fill the remaining marks reducing there appearance topped off with a wax to make it last, its not as good as getting an enhancement done or machine polishing yourself but safer and cheaper.

Depends on how deep the scratches are. Do the fingernail test - if positive, you'll need a respray.

If it's just light swirl marks then you need to polish the car. Look at Autoglym Super Resin Polish - a good polish to use by hand and can be bought from Halfrauds.
