Aloha.
I'm new to all this, so don't laugh if this is really obvious... :rasp:
We debadged the back of the car (the "renault" and "sport" badges), and we were left with a couple of nasty scratches down to the metal... :S
Got a touch up kit from Renault and tried using it but it was a bit pointless, as the scratches were about 1mm wide, and the brush was, er, huge. A really fine (000 size) brush was fantastic for filling them in accurately, and my girlfriends "Ruby and Millie" nail buffer has rubbed back the clearcoat really well. The nail buffer has three different grades of sanding stuff mounted on 3 sides of a perspex triangular tube (don't ask me what the proper name is for a triangular tube, I failed A-level maths really badly...), from what's basically a really gentle wet & dry, down to a buffer. She reckon's it was about a tenner, and I now owe her a new one, but it was cheaper than getting it done professionally, and I reckon it looks ok.
