hello mate,

some mother f.... keyed my car up but didnt do it properly...

if you go to halfords, you can buy this touch up paint for about ten quid.... it has all the saxo colours, mines blue btw....

there are two pens, paint and lacquer....

it gives a proper neat finish too...

how deep are your scratches???

hope this helps

and btw minor scratches come out with t-cut

Mark51^p · 18th November 2006, 02:55

there not deep, was thinking of using Auto Glym Paint Renovater?

but just had some panels sprayed will this be ok to use on them?

SAM33R · 18th November 2006, 03:04

i dunno what paint renovater is lol

but from experience t-cut removes minor hairline scratches however these touch up pens from halfords are ace mate for key marks etc...

id never use a touch up pen, to easy to mess up!

as for the scratches id try a good polish, if that doesnt work try and get in touch with some hu owns a pc or buy one if you really want them sorted out

upto you mate.... ones i got are like a tip-ex pen, really fine point at the end.... worked for me

will try again with the Auto Glym but might buy some more stuff and use them all.
cheers guys

If you don't have a PC, the best bet will be to use Menzerna intensive polish by hand using a German applicator pad. They can be purchased from here.

The general rule is ,if you can feel the scratch under your nail, you won't be able to get it out. Other wise use some polish. A very good one is the auto glym super resin polish. Other wise use a pc buffer and get buffing

I had some little scratches on mine, i used t-cut and its brought the scratches right out, cant even notice them anymore. As people have said though it all depends how deep the scratch is

Seconded! Exactly what I was going to advise.

I've used the Menzerna Intensive Polish, didn't have time to rid of swirl marks (OR at least the majority of them) but used it to get rid of some minor key and scruff marks -- works a treat.

Next year when it is sunny I will attempt to remove all swirl marks.
