hensh65 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Just done half an hour polishing it with megs polish. Took away quite a lot of the scuffs and dulled the deeper ones down. Do you think a cutting compound could save what is remaining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Unlucky mate. After some polishing doesn't look too bad, but just depends how far you can go with product. I had a similar shunt in my silver coupe in 2009 and it managed to buff out with the silver hiding the lighter marks. Hope it hasn't dented the panel in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think a cutting compound could save what is remaining? It depends how deep it is. If it catches on your nail it'll probably need paint, otherwise you should be able to polish it out. To be honest I wouldn't want to remove too much paint without a paint depth reading on it, but a PDG (gauge) isn't cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I remember your thread now (the one you've cunning hidden in you sig right in front of me ). You should be all right then, but the depth of the scratch will determine if it can be polished out still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Just noticed this mate. Not good although if you parked next to mine at the moment nobody would notice. Tim fro Envy will be staying with me at LakeZ if you dont get it sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I still havent got mine sorted after it was keyed to hell. New bonnet on order and a lot of paintwork to get done. Getting a little tight to get it sorted in time now. I do have a car cover in the garage though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other colours do hide it better. Cant wait for lake Zed. Gkad the pr!ck this morning did have me coming down in a taxi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
