hi guys;

i have just changed my side vents on my 2004 vogue to the supercharged ones which look very nice along with a grille change from powerful.co.uk.

however, in the process of taking one out, it git stuck and having had to give it a hard pull, i scratched the door ( bumholes say i ).

being java black which is metallic as you know, can anyone suggest a rubbing compound that can be used on metallic paint ?

Best to get a valeter to machine polish it out. If you try and do it by hand you could mark the remaining black. They'll also be able to tell you whether it CAN be polished out. G4 paste is good and you can get a kit with a couple of sponges if you have to go by hand.

eBay France is a good start point:
