Help... Best Product To Get Rid Of Chips And Door Ding Marks

[Stacey5426]

Well after getting slightly annoyed with my inconciderate neighbour who isnt at all concerned whether he bends my wing mirror back (new motor will prob be needed soon) or banging his door into the side of my car, and I mean banging I heard it in the house :tsktsk::tsktsk::tsktsk:, I've decided to give it a very good old clean/polish, in the next day or two to get as many of the marks/scratches out so any new marks will be clear to see...

So my question is, there are so many brands/products out there (t-cut etc) I dont want to waste my money on the ones that dont work, so what are the best ones to use, I havent got silly money to spend but would like to get the car looking good

Car has several door dings, scratches on it... tried t-cut before but didnt get some of them out.

Any advice would be grately received :) Thankyou in advance

i used meguirs stuff from Halfords on their three for the price of two offer - first one is a cutting type agent,second a polish,third a sealer - i must admit i was flabbergasted at the results although all in all it did take the best part of a day,i think it worked out to less then £20 and ive got enough to do the car about another ten times or so - mines green and it really brought out the metallic shine-

iv always used auto glym super resin polish on my cars

I can vouch for Autoglym and Meguiars.

I used the Meguiars 3 step process (I believe it is the deep crystalyou mentioned) and got great results.

Regardless of what is used as a polish, wax or sealant it will be limited by how well the paint surface has been prepared.

Step 1 of the Meguiars treatment is to deep clean and de-contaminate the paintwork but for truly stunning results a clay bar kit really needs to be used.

As has been mentioned you really need to put a full day aside to do it properly but its worth it (especially on a dark coloured car)

If the scratches etc are particualry noticable a machine polish might be the way to go....
