Title: Scratch marks not sure???
Post by: Remon_uk on June 08, 2013, 08:37:34 pm
Hi guys I noticed some marks on the front of my engine today, they seem like rubber marks I'm thinking a kids bike handle or a football. What Do you guys and girls think ? And how will I be able to remove such marks? Help appreciated  :smiley:


How do I add photos using ipad?

Do you mean the front of your car, on the paintwork?

To add photos via your iPad just download the Photobucket app then upload the photos you want into Photobucket from your photos on your ipad, click on the image, click on the link sign, click on the IMG code link (in the drop down menu), click ok and then simple paste the image in your post.

It looks like some scuff marks, should just polish out, maybe even by hand.  :happy2:

^^^^ Have a go with something like Meguiars Ultimate Compound, its not too tough so should remove the marks. Finish it off with a Ultra Fine Polish of your choosing.

How deep are they? can you feel the scratch with your nail if you go over in gently. If you cant feel them they should polish out. If you don't have any luck by hand then they will need machine polished.
