well less than a week into owning my new Captur ive discovered two key scratches across the bonnet.
obviously some young scallywag has been so dazzled by the looks of the car they stumbled across it while in a drunken haze and accidently put their keys across it...but i guess thats just the cost you pay for wanting to buy something from new to look after even if you have had to work for 26years to pay for.
On a serious note has anyone any idea's what the best scratch remover there is out there. the scratches are very light but noticable (to me...its the 1st chance ive had to wax and polish the car) but id like to get rid of them if possible.
My daughter had that done to her (new) used AudiTT without a chance of sorting it out.... The problem is that if you start using something , you'll take off the lacquer coating...On older cars I used a little T cut, but I'd be scared to offer you that advice on a high visible area like a bonnet! How about those wax sticks that you can just draw in gently...Maybe just your wax polish will do?
Thanks Ythsie.tbh im surprised it lasted almost a week before something was done to it.
Hear what your saying about the T-cut...I do need to head back to get the arm rest fitted so I might leave it alone until then to see what the dealership suggests (they may even sort it as a nice gesture) thanks for the help though mate
Sorry to hear that Tony,not fair matey........try a coloured wax I think there there is a grey/silver Turtle Wax Colour Magic it may make it less noticeable!!.......some complete and utter a---
least now im now worrying about my 1st ding i suppose. may have a pop to Halfords tomorrow and have a look see what they have in... may have a look at the decals too while im in there (thinking a large eagle across the bonnet will hide the scratches
I used this on my mercury car before I exchanged it Farecla G3 Scratch Remover Paste 150ml. My mate gave it to me and I got to say it did the job, the scratches weren't deep though more of a scuff. Just seen halfords sell it and it has good reviews on the site.
well good news! after asking in Halfords ive used some G3 scratch remover and its done the trick.only used a minimal amount to test but its done a cracking job. *phew*
bad news is i have no excuse for a go faster stripe CJ or Eagle on the bonnet
