My daughters boyfriend has a lovely black Audi A3 and he mentioned that when he washed it last, the bonnet had some really bad scratches. He tried to remove them with some polish but it made no difference. I said, pop the car on the driveway, go for a drink with Hannah and leave it with me for an hour or so.
He was gobsmacked when he returned and couldn't believe what a difference I'd made.

My wife works in a body shop and it is amazing what can be done nowadays with the modern products without the need of re spraying. By the way it looks great.
Car sold - but still following Mazda.

Da polisher, cutting pastes, pads, clay bar, Polish and wax and experience. These were serious scratches so a basic cutting paste, cloth and by hand wouldn't work.

Any tips on interior i.e. dashboard wipes/leather cleaner etc as i prefer the inside to be cleaner than the outside as i only see the outside for a minute while i am getting into my vehicle. :D
