Hi Everyone,
I have some minor paint scratches on my roof and having tried autoglym and another "scratch remover" I cannot seem to get them out dispite a lot of elbow grease, they are not deep.
Is this a pro job or can I use some mechanised help here?
Cheers,
Steve

is the paint still intact ?
as long as you cant see the primer or metalwork it should be able to be polished out

How are you assessing their depth?
If you can catch a fingernail ran over them, then they are deep.
You'll need to persist with the SRP by hand or consider investing/borrowing a polisher (Meguiar's G220 or Kestrel DAS-6), and pads and polishes.
By hand, are you using a cloth or a foam pad? If the former, then ditch it, and get a Sonus German Applicator (Black/Red/Yellow tri-colour oval applicator) from www.carnaubawaxshop.co.uk, and use the Yellow side to give the SRP more bite.

steve,buy the sample pack of menzerna polishes from cleanyour car ,they are primarily for use with a machine but you will get results by hand.if not buy a rotary polisher as they are cheaper than a random orbit machine and defect removal is much much quicker.
