Scrapes On My Car

[Connemmara]

I can't believe it my black car has scrapes down two doors - very fine ones - now I never scraped it but some f did. Does this T-Cut thing work or any other advice would be appreciated cos I will be doing it myself.

How deep are the scratches, Conne ?.

[Connemmara]

as I said very fine but long

[tonyav]

Can you feel them with your finger nail ?.

[tonyav]

Conne, if you can't feel them with your finger nail T-Cut should do the job.

[Connemmara]

Didn't try the finger-nail tip - will do as I am taking Harv down to park soon. Does it need to be finger-nail or finger tip.

[tonyav]

Finger nail Conne, run your finger nail across the scratch and feel for it to catch on the scratch.

thanks tony on my way before it gets a little cold bye

[tonyav]

Okey Dokey.

You will get much better results on surface scratches with this Farecla G3 Professional product. From Halfords and cheaper to buy than T-cut.

That looks like good stuff, gingejbee.

[gingejbee]

Yes, tony - my neighbour has used it on similar fine scratches on a dark car and was amazed by the result.

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, think I will get some of that, gingejbee. Thanks.

[Connemmara]

thanks to both of you - am just logged on again - yes Tony used fingernail - they are very fine - but am not amused at the fact (my car is parked beside my house) on the driveway and whoever f scraped the other side so as not to be seen. My neighbours car have all scraped too. Will try that other product Gingebee suggested. bye

[Connemmara]

tony AV - you were saying bless you (oh I need to get some of that too) are you being scraped too - what is it all about. I will man up big time to the biggest crashes of my life - but this wee car - no not a scrape from me - where are the scrapes coming from.

unfortunately dark coloured vehicles really do show up scratches,especially black,also black can be quite a 'soft' colour and very easy to mark. Only ever owned one black vehicle,never again.
Farecla is a professional quality product, bodyshops use it.

[Connemmara]

thanks Chas - have to go and get two dummies and two baby bottles - friend's granddaughter has threw them out of the pram. Bye

[tonyav]

No Conne, no scatches, it just looks good stuff. I will get some though, just in case.
