Re: Scratch repair companys
Hi,
Maybe I'm in the wrong then. Has anyone performed gender re-alignment on a Capri before?

A Ship is always a "She" but dont see why a car has to be...a fine example from this 'ere forum has to be Turbo Mike's 2.8i that goes by the name "Alfie" and is pretty well known here now Fits so right and proper in my humble opinion
All the best
Nick

I think that with ships it comes from day of old when they thought a Goddess may protect them, they had female figureheads on the ships also. A Capri should be a HE, it has a bulge after all!

Re: Scratch repair companys
Thought I would post here as I had a scratch on my boot lid , I tried autoglym polish and paint renovations but I could still see the little scratch what with my OCD ,like all of us was starting to get the better of me . So I read in a classic car magazine about
A product called G so I hit the button on amazon and it come a few weeks ago .
I followed the instructions yesterday and used my autoglym rapid detailing spray instead of water and it’s vanished . I can’t even see where it was . So really pleased I did not use a lot and use a micro cloth to . I then polished with autoglym and finished with the wax ( yes not in the sun this time )

Re: Scratch repair companys
Thanks for the tip JM. Shame it doesn't work on Sierra paint burn through
Autoglym Resin Polish is still great with or without other products (Even on Red)
Their bumper and trim gel works great too and smells nice

Re: Scratch repair companys
Thanks Jason. It's always great to hear of cleaning products that have been tried and tested. I currently use Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, but I might give this Farecla a try when that runs out. It's a shame you didn't take any before and after photos though.Jasonmarie wrote: I followed the instructions yesterday and used my autoglym rapid detailing spray instead of water and it’s vanished .

Re: Scratch repair companys
That’s the name super raisin polish cheers Andy , yes I do use this , and why did I not take a picture Andrew I only realised after I had a go with G as I thought it was not going to work in my head as the autoglym stuff normal does the trick .
Thing is I don’t have anymore to have a go on .

Well, that's a good thing!Jasonmarie wrote:Thing is I don’t have anymore to have a go on .
What sort of scratch was the one you polished out? Was it similar to a swirl in the paintwork, or was it actually a visible scratch in the topcoat?

Re: Scratch repair companys
Never see that one , this I pad seems to do its own words at times . Back to Sultanas at first it looked like a deep scratch they you could fill in the middle with your nail , after having a go with products it was more like a side one from plants or trees type but you could see it ( after reading Andy’s nighmare ) I am glad I did not buy a electric polish machine . Thank you Andy .Andrew 2.8i wrote:Does it do sultanas too? Couldn't resist it!Jasonmarie wrote:super raisin polish

But you could see it under real light .
I might see if we have any in the bus and have a play . With do a picture or YouTube 2 video
