Blue Is200 Scratch Removal..

[Connoor]

Hey guys

I've had my is200 for a month now and I'm loving it!

Only thing its missing is cruise control but I've heard that an unbelievable faf to fit after leaving the factory.

Just wondered if anyone had advice for removing surface scratches..?

Theres some scratches on the blue metallic paint that are white (I'm assuming not much can be done about them) but there are some very light areas of scratches where someone has scrubbed the paint with a unsuitable object and caused areas of scratches.

I used tcut 'metallic' but didnt help much.. Thought about using tcut 'blue' but wasn't sure if it would affect the metallic paint..

Any help would be much appreciated,

Cheers

The blue t cut will be fine to use or blue polish but it's pretty hard to buff off .

I never use cruise on mine .bloody cars keep stopping so it's hard to use everywhere I go , even motorways unless it's quiet .

I use Autoglym super resin polish to fill the scratches then protect it with a wax. After several passes by hand, it does a really good job

SRP and Bluet-cut will only fill in the light scratches till you wash the car again and they get wash out in time, best way is to have the car machine polished with a rotary or dual action polisher, this will remove all minor scratches and marks, would set you back around £150-£300 depending on who does it and how much the cars clear coat needs cutting back!

Or if you've arms like Rambo you could hand polish them out using gtechinq P1 polish, it can be done but will take ages!

Also your method of washing will help keeps scratches down, use 2 buckets, 1 with clean soapy water 1 with clean rinsing water, also use a wash mit like a noodle type or sheep skin, never use a sponge!!!

Wash from the top down washing dirt away and use straight lines not circles as you wash, rinse and dry with drying towel.

Most of the stuff you can buy cheaply from asda's car section for a few quid each!

Goon youtube there's tons of car washing ids to help you.

HTH...
