Hi,

My girlfriends silver car has a red paint scuff mark on it probably from a nearby corsa.

Could anyone please suggest any products that might help remove this tarnish without damaging the silver underneath ?

Many Thanks, Blak.

[btw I thought I posted this message earlier but cant find it sorry if its here twice somehow]

 

Well TCut is an abrasive solution that can work wonders if used with patience and care. Might want to try it on a hidden part of the car first, just in case your paintwork is not up to it

Failing that there's a link somewhere around here to a comprehensive article on detailing your car. There is bound to be a section in there on cleaning up marks on the paintwork...

 

Scratch X might do it - but don't quote me I am no expert!

 

Thanks I'll look up scratch X, bit worried about T cut, im not very diy-ey.

Thanks for the ideas though :-)

 

Scratch X worked well for my brother in law's VX220 when someone used blue spray paint on the passengers side

 

Don't use T_CUt scratch X will probably remove it - I would try that first!

 

hmm not too sure on this one might be best to ask the question on here

 

Don't laugh, but I have found that a gentle rub with a soft cloth and a spot Cif works without damaging the paint. Past formulations of the former Jif were quite abrasive, but it is now much milder, presumably to protect the manufacturers from the possibility of claims for damage from acrylic bath owners.

 

You could always try a clay bar and then scratch X. I've used them together with fantastic results...

 

I would use a clay bar and then Scratch X.

Remember that after claying and using Scratch X the paint will be 'bare' so re-polish / wax the area.
