Got one or 2 what seem to be surfrace scratches on the car, whats the best for removing them, people have recomended T Cut but do Meguiars or someone else do anything better?

Also got one deeper scratch on on panel, any tips for getting rid of or just improving it as I'm selling the car soon! :)

Cheers,
Josh

tcut is always great for surface scratches.
As for deeper scratches, I have used in the past a wax that comes with a wax pen (looks like a lipstick) and you can fill the scratch with that before you wax the car. Can't remember what its called but worked a treat on my Black C2 before.

Edit: Its called Color Magic Plus+ from Halfords.

Okay, cheers mate! I'm guessing you have to buy colour specific T Cut for the small scrathes from Halfrauds or whatever and the same for the other wax you mentioned?

Do you remember where you got it, do you think Halfruads will stock it and did you have to gett Citroen black?

Cheers! :)

Yeh, just get the colour to match your car. Can get them all from halfrauds, Its Turltewax that does the Colour Magic with the Chipstick pen.

I had a largeish scratch on my Black C2 before which went to the primer, looks nasty, but with the chipstick pen it covered it nicely.

if the scratch is quite deep what ya can do is sharpen the end of a match stick, dab it in a colour match paint and very gently touch in the scratch. then flaten the paint and a small area around it with some 1200 wet and dry then t-cut back up to a nice shine! works a treat!
More work that a chip stick :lol: but the end result is brilliant, if ya do it correctly and take ya time ya wont notice! :wink: `
