newbie advice on swirls and scratch

[daveydw]

i have a 197 racing blue which has a small scratch on the sill i used some polish to try to remove it but it has dulled the paint and created a lot of swirling in a small patch about 3 inches
is there a way to get the shine back and remove all the swirling

But the question is how much does it fix and how much does it fill!

On my 2 week old R27 I noticed some scratches near the fuel filler cap. Tried polish but didn't work so I bought some Meguirs Scratch X stuff (sp).
After about 5 passes the marks were well and truly gone.
I then stopped crying and was happy that my car was like new again.

Fixing...not so much, but it does the job for areas with minor scratches in. Agreed that best way is to fix it properly though!

daveydw I'd stick to the products that are well known lol, sometimes worth the extra few quid, as for problem you have put a thread up asking for someone local who is familiar with a pc polisher to correct the area for you, shouldn't take too long Wouldnt cost you much.

Agreed, absolutely superb. Definately the first thing to try when you've got a scratch, prior to going too crazy with more severe products...

It took an amazingly bad black scuff (courtesy of an old codger who wasn't looking where he was going) off the back of one of my mirrors, now good as new :approve:
