Scuff marks/light scratches removal
« on: May 09, 2016, 11:43:18 AM »
Hello,
I've got a couple of light scratches and a weird scuff mark on the rear of my red abarth 500, I was looking to try and remove them myself by buffing them out, was just wondering what products someone could recommend, I know it's probably easy to mess up if you've not done it before, any advice would be much appreciated  :D

I would suggest something like Megs ultimate compound and a good firm hand polishing foam pad. Adams or Auto Perfection do good foam polishing hand pads. Will take a lot of effort by hand so expect a lot of back and forward with your foam pad to get anywhere.
