    Need your advice mistar Wul, noticed on the new motor that there are a few very fine hairline scratches (wouldnt notice in any other colour other than black heh) was wondering would some gold class polish remove/reduce these, or is there another way to fix this issue

    If i run my nail along the scratches, i can feel the scratches themselves, reminds me of the scratches neighbours car used to get when his cars sat on the bonnet. Just did some gold class wax treatment, and seems to have reduced the visibility of the scratches quite a lot, tho its a bit too hard to be able to tell for sure.

    Thanks dude

    ps: whats a good place to purchase megs goodies from online? needing a bit of a topup

    My hubby recommending Zymol cleaner wax polish stuff!!! It works a treat and will make your car feel baby smooth...:I

    It worked very well on our black Subaru Impreza - made it look top notch!

    Sh@z ive just ordered some stuff thats got very goood write up. Its called Klasse AIO, removes light scratching etc. and polishes. Havent got round to trying it yet, but Im going to do my entire car soon.
    Stage 1 - wash
    Stage 2 - Any bad scratches with Megs Scratch X
    Stage 3 - Megs Quik Clay
    Stage 4 - Klasse AIO
    Stage 5 - Megs NXT tech wax.

    Could be a long day. Sctrach X might be a good bet for the probs your describing.
    There is a place called SRS in Edinburgh stock megs products.

    Sh@z - master polisher macblob has given you some good products to try - others are Megs Clear coat Body Scrub or Stage 1, or you can try Sonus Paint cleanser. If you can feel them with your nail though then they are quite deep, scratch X then gold class/nxt or AIO will fill the remaining bit.

    Don't listen to Wul Sh@z. Going by the state of his 'S when I saw it he's got no idea how to remove hairline scratches.

    I was indeed but I don't proclaim to be the buffmeister do I? As it stands you're like Dawn French telling people how to lose weight!
