Stonechips + Scratches

[Seedy172]

My car has a number of Stonechips + Scratches left over from the previous owner, and I have been trying to get rid of them as best as possible before I get the car fully PC'd! Ive been Claying, TCutting and all that, and it brought it up a lot better, but still is a long way off tbh... does anyone have any other solutions for me to try please?!

Also, the seats are looking pretty warn, shiny and untidy... Have had some Suede Cleaner Spray on them and it helped a little... but again... only very little and theres a long way to go with them, any advice would be a great help!

Thanks,
Andy

Can i use G3 to get rid of the wet flat marks? Then buff up with scratch x?

Scratch X alone will remove wet sanding marks.

Awesome, im going to give it a bash tomorrow, just nervous out taking wet and dry to my paint...

dont be shy - just take it slow with the sanding and you should be fine

what grade wet and dry should be used to be able to get the marks off?? would 1200 be alright? an would scratch x remove the marks?

2000 wet/dry is good for light scratches

To course imo - I normally use 2500.

Thanks for the great advice, however ive decided to get a guy from Chips Away to come do the lot for me... Me + Sandpaper probably should't cross paths tbh lol! £150 for the lots though, doesnt seem to bad... All scratches + Chips will soon be gone... and the car will be getting a good Machine Polish too!

Interior bits are something else though, lol!
