i used just a no.1 kitten polish and it removed 95%of the scratches . took a lot of rubbing though . TIP . don't use your drinking arm, you may not be able to use it properly for a day or so afterwards.03 grande v6 , with added stuff that makes it go places . RTFM people !

It is not possible to polish out deep scratches in the clear coat.
If the scratch extends down to the paint you'll buff through the clear
coat and then the panel will need to be repainted.
Either just learn to live with it or take it to a panel repair shop, touch guy etc.

Autoglym has an excellent range of car care products including polishes. I have used their products for years and very happy with them. They are available at Autobarn.
Like all polishes, if the scratch is to deep it will be a paint shop job.

I was told that the time to polish out scratches is just before you intend selling it, otherwise if you take out every scratch as it happens there will be nothing left to take the scratches out of.
We have a guy in the office who uses T cut to take out every scratch he gets and his paint is getting very thin now.Comment

Be hard to polish out as well seeing it went to bare metal :evil:Our 6 year old and 3 year old try their hardest to make sure there is no time or money for the other babyComment
