i have some rather deep scratches down the side of my puma, which stick out like a sore thumb when it's all cleaned up.

i've tried using t-cut and SRP but it still won't cover them up.

would g3 do the job? and i take it it's this:

Ben ideally G3 needs to applied with a polishing machine of some description. How deep are the scratches, have they gone totaly through the paint?

Yes a bit of 10 grit will do a sterling job

well they are white now looks like something has been scrapped along the drivers side.

not too sure on wet sanding, would probably mess up completely

In all seriousness though Ben if they are that bad wet sanding if you do it properly is a good way to go.

Wouldn't be doing it if I wasn't confident though.

if you have paint missing from an area, i don't see any polish being able to re-paint the chips.

mikes just look like scratches filled with dirt
