Ive tried t-cut followed by autoglym polish but it still looks like someones been at it with a wire brush

or if its really bad you may need to get it machine polished out, go to a local bodyshop and ask if they could run the mop over it!

slip the a fiver and they will be happy!

if you run your finger nail over it and can feel the dip then it wont polish out, if you cant feel it a bodyshoip should be able ti run over it with a mop to take it out.

Getting scratches out by hand is toough due the temperatures required to break down the better polishing compounds.

Im sure martin c knows a guy that could help is he not near you?
