Second hand car paint treatment?

Question

just bought a 2nd hand jag x type from my local vw dealer, dark metallic green, unmarked when i bought it but within a couple of weeks, lots of wee marks appeared.

i was wondering what the valeters have used to hide this, much much better than coloured polish and chipstick. just wondered if anyone knows of any product

cheers

Answer 1

If the scratches & marks are not to deep the I would try T-Cut.

This works by taking  a layer of paint off your car & getting down to a new one. Ive used it plenty times before & I think it's great.

Since it's a jag your talking about, it probably has 10 layers of paint, so you wont miss one.

GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

Your best bet would be to take it to a reputable valeter and ask their advice, the marks may be fine scratches due to regular visits to a car wash or someone living down a narrow lane with bushes, either way a good machine buff and polish should improve matters.

If you use a cutting compound yourself (not t-cut) be careful not to go through the laquer as you will end up needing spraywork.

Answer 3

Im guessing they used a silicon that they spray one while washing, Iv seen this done at car lots
