 Scratches already - RattleandSmoke
Thankfully I have a very large collection of this polishes etc. A few weeks ago I was reversing out of a tight drive and caught a branch. Its caused a hair line scratch on my rear quarter. I used Autoglym polish and although still visible it did a good job of masking it.

Today there was a mark on both me and dads front bumper as if a large HGV has scraped it. It is rather odd how the marks got there. Both are colour coded.

Mine was a right mess but washed off and used Autoglym bumper care. Now that area looks shiny and the scratches are only visible very close up.

If I was buying my car I doubt I would spot the scratches until I washed it. However if I trade my car in in 3 and a half years time will these scratches be considered normal were and tear or will they try and knock £100s off?

How much do these scratch repairer companies charge? In a couple of years time I may use them as no doubt more light scratches will follow.

Normaly I would not be bothered but the car is 5 months old and I want to keep it looking as new as possible.
