I was attacked by an ivy bush in the recent windy weather as I made my way home on the A30 the other day. They just fall out of the hedgerow when you least expect it!

Anyway, what is the best product for polishing out scratches? They're not too deep. I tried Tcut on my old p38 once but this just seemed to make the lacquer go cloudy. I don't want the same on the wing and two door panels. Will probably do it by hand.

Thanks .

Define "Not too deep"

Can you feel it with a fingernail? If so it's too deep to polish out. Assuming you can't feel it then Meguiars, Menzerna, Poorboys or Gloss-IT all do decent polishes.

T-Cut is nasty and full of ammonia. Don't want to be using that

Most surface scratch's can be removed by hand. You probably need a compound to remove the deep scratch's. Meguiars do compounds that break down and give a mirror finish. Have a look at their website. They also do a system for polishing by hand. If not you could also wetland but would need a machine polisher to finish off.

try meguiars ultimate compound and then put some wax on top - I have been very happy wil the megiuars stuff. '96 Volkswagen Polo 1.4CL - SOLD

As above, the fingernail test is the best way to determine scratch depth.

By hands an alternative to T-Cut is Meguiars Scratch X

By Rotary or DA various options are available but I would favour 3M and Menz over Megs 06 4.2 SC Bonatti Grey/ Ivory

Thanks everyone, the scratches are visual only, no perceptible depth, but I'll give the Meguiars a go... .

I've seen guys in bodyshops use 1500 grade wet and dry with soapy warm water.

I had great success with this myself on a motorcycle tank. I scratched it with the zip on my jacket, so I tried this. It takes forever to do, but the best bit about this is that it's so gradual, you can stop when you get the required result and not risk breaking through the lacquer. 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded
