It is a popular solution here for dealing with minor scratches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-CUT http://www.t-cut.co.uk/index.cfm?page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of hundred at the very most. Look for car detailers or call a car dealer and ask for the name of the person they use for scratches.

Usually under $20 here in Canada,so probably $7.99 where you are..lol Edited March 12, 2013 by Cpt.TennealXI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I don't think it should be that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I did this to my 04 SVT Focus. It was silver and someone hit the bumper and it had black paint from the other car and some areas were scratched to the primer on my car. I used the wet sand method to remove the black paint and smooth out the scratches then applied factory touch up paint wet sanded again then applied 4 coats of clear to bring shine back. Just pick a small spot and take your time don't use too much pressure and keep it even. KaptCrunch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
