scratches and paint restoration?

[farmerchris]

im wanting to sort out all the scratches and scuffs around my car, as there are quite a few. my saxo is dark blue (Muritious Blue maybe), any advice or product recomendations would be much aprichiated.

will t cut fix deep scratches or would a paint pen be better?
there is some bubbeling on the roof which i dont know where to start to fix?
also swirls and scuffs, wil t cut be the best for the job?

cheers.

most paint stuff, t-cut and that will only get out swirl marks, to get out scratches deeper than you can feel with your finger nail it needs to be sprayed really mate,

for the bubbling id suggest flatting it back and then re-spraying it

[Claireeyy]

if you can feel the scratch then you will really need to get it sprayed
for getting rid of swirl marks G3 is pretty good

DONT use t-cut. it will put more swirls in it if you aint carefull.

cant go wrong with a clay kit

[readie]

clay wont remove swirls will only remove bonded contaminates(i cant spell) but mainly hand polishing will not do to much as you cant get the the speeds needed to swirls and scratches anything will make it look better and then protect it (sealents waxes etc) if you want the best technique then its machine polishing only or a respray

hope it helps
