Can anybody recommend a good scratch repair shop or mobile service.
Woke up this morning to see bonnet and roof covered in dog prints and really bad scratches.
Thanks in advance

Unless they're really deep scratches, a good rubbing compound (Scratch Remover) works very well.

Re: Scratch repair for car
Cost has never been extortionate - never more than 4,000฿, and that was exceptional.
I've had several small jobs done, usually after some idiot drove into me. My car has always come off best with just a few scratches and the odd dent. They've always returned it like brand new.

Re: Scratch repair for car
I think one of us is confused. I was talking about proprietary compounds you can buy from any motor accessory shop/dept. I've always used them over the years and they do work very well.ahandpatsy wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 4:03 pm Hh tel they are realky bad went to car cleaner on soi 6 thus morning.

Re: Scratch repair for car
You are referring to cutting compounds, which can restore a damaged clear coat, but if the scratch is deeper it is not going to fix it.HHTel wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 4:49 pmI think one of us is confused.

Re: Scratch repair for car
Fair enough, but the guy had some compounds at his disposal. I'm no expert and I fear (and so does the missus) that her shiny new car may get even worse if she lets me near it. Better for everybody if a third party can be blamed for any issues.HHTel wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 4:49 pmI think one of us is confused.

Re: Scratch repair for car
Coincidentally, I've literally, today, used a compound on my car. Someone (not me) reversed into a metal post which caused scratches on my rear wing. I wouldn't mind but she has her own car. (mine's newer). Took a few minutes rubbing but there's no sign of the couple of scratches now. Most of the scratch removers also contain a polish so you still finish with a shine and no scratches.
