Paint Work Problem?

[Roger Porter]

Hi All,

I have purchased a second hand IS 220D which is 20 months old. It is metallic blue and I have noticed that the previous as? wh?le has put it through a car wash and it has loads of scratches all over. I have also noticed a lot of stone chips on the bonnet. Can anyone suggest how to remove them. I have tried T-Cut but it does not really get rid of them.

Cheers for any advice,

Roger

Did you but it from a dealer, if so the best way would be to take it back to them and say you are not happy and would they fix it at no cost to you. Otherwise you are probably looking at a respray of the bonnet and a professional polish of the whole car.

Hi Mate,

No I got it from Motorpoint; I also noticed one of the back tyres was bald so I got it replaced only to find it was pumped up with a can inflator and I had been driving around with it for 2 months.

How much do you think it will cost and would the polish sort it properly; what I mean is will they re-appear after several washes.

Thanks for you reply

the rule of thumb with sratches is,if you can feel them with your fingernail then they are too deep.if you can't,they will polish out.a professional mopping is likely to cost you abouy £150.careful washing is the way to avoid future scratches.visit polished bliss or detailing world for more advise.

OK thanks mate, it is going in next friday for some repairs; seems to have no power when setting of and then it kicks in. I think this is a general problem and the ECU needs mapping.
