Black marks on body
Hey some dick drove into the side of my car the other day while it was parked outside and left some scratches and black and grey marks on the side near the front light. Any suggestions on a cheap way to remove these and possibly get rid of the dints aswell.
cheers.

get a good cutting compound such as meguiars scratchx to remove the black marks.
As for the dents, it depends how bad they are. Get some pictures up.

glad you got the marks off mate, as for the dent, its probably cheaper looking for a second hand wing on ebay or at breakers yards.

To be honest they arent very good, the panel has to be reasonably flat to get the tool to suck to the damaged area, and looking at the pics the panel looks pretty rough.
Have a look on ebay.
