How to rid your panels of those pesky scratches, only for solid colour panels, not painted.

1. Wash area around scratch
2. Use a very fine wet and dry, make sure you use it wet, on scratch if deep, rub in a circular motion.
   don't worry area has now got a matt finish
3. Mix a little rubbing compound with water,  just to make compound slightly damper, I use Halfords own brand that comes in a yellow tube.
4. With fingers apply to affected area
5. Using a household drill with a pad adapter and buffing/polishing pad attached (again Halfords)
   start to polish, moving drill in an a clockwise motion. This might take 5 to 10 mins depending on depth of scratch to see it disappear. Add more compound if needed.
6. To finish of I use a product called C10 to really bring up the shine, again using the drill and there's no need to change the pad. T-Cut will work as well. (Editors note: Meguiars ScratchX is also available)
   
7. Just for extra shine I then use colour magic car polish

This works fine on standard panels (Solid colour ) and i've removed some deep scratches.

If your careful and don't overdo the drill polishing it works on the tridion, but, DON'T USE THE WET AND DRY.

For custom paint jobs it depends how well your car has been re-sprayed to what parts of this method you can use.

This has only been tried on solid colour panels.
