scratch removal

[caprimanuk]

I have a few scratches on my car , can anyone in south wales area remove these by wet sanding ?

I really dont fancy doing this myself as im affraid of damaging it .

Got any pictures mate?

Wet sanding may only improve things by itself and the scratch may need filling with paint first.
As Giarc mentions some photos would be useful as would your location.

I havnt to be honest im sorry . But I think they where done by some jelous scroat with a key . I know they certainly wont polish out , plus i can feel them with my nail .

Its very difficult to photograph ,they are on the top part of front and rear door above the black coach line .

if its only on there might be easier to get it painted rather tha fill and wet sand , where do you live ?

[caprimanuk]

Just had a quote for a re-paint . Thanks for the advice guys .

I know a very good chips away man who can do this sort of thing. He works between Cardiff and Bridgend if that helps.
PM me if you want his number.

I have recently been quoted £200 for a complete top half of the car resprayed , which I really cannot afford !

Its only one deep scratch thats the problem and the other is fairly light , but I cant seem to get it out by hand polishing . I really would like some help please , please ?

Just cant afford £200 thats for sure !
