Punto, Scratches

Okay i wont go into detail etc. but i got afew scratches on the back of my car, the boot door. They are small scratches, not deep i dont think, like if you was to catch a zip on it or something, however it is grouped into a bunch so it looks like a millino white scratches, if u know what i mean?? lol! whats the best way to get rid of it? I tried to T-Cut, it made better but not 100% fix it. (whats beth method to t-cut? apply , wait then dO? etc etc.. thanks...) any other things i could try?

rubbing compound, use very liberally and then buff out with t-cut - it is very abbrasive!!!! You'll probably only need 5-10 rubs with the compound. Use in straight lines 5 vertical 5 horizontal.

Re: Punto, Scratches

The Best thing by far is QUIXX Scratch Repair System - available from most places....

I had deep scratches on my Bravo where someone keyed the side of the car.....

It's a 2 stage process that has had it's Effectiveness confirmed by TÜV Germany

It works on ALL paint types even metallic like mine.....

I paid £8.99 from Motormania and it took around 15 minutes to get rid of the scratches

well i hope it makes this scratch less visable, you can feel it when you run your nail over it so it is deep. and any way there are loads of scratches all over it!
