Long story short, took it to a valeters a month or so ago to get waxed, gave it a clean myself at the weekend and noticed some scratches on the front wing in swirl patterns...................

Tell me about it mate, if he wasnt a mate with an apprentice I'd be round there It's nit bad, actually quite hard to see from a foot away, but I know it's there and that's enough |

I had the same problem after purchasing my RRS I noticed swirls on the paintwork, and was looking to into calling a scratch repair company before I came accross a product called Autobright Swirl and Scratch Remover Glaze, purchased from ebay at £9.95. I used it at the weekend and was really impressed with the results, the swirls are gone and it also removed small spots of tar/grime. The paintwork looks really healthy I would certainly recomend trying some, you could be saving yourself some hard earned cash BLACK RRS HST 3.6 MY08 |

There is a guy called Robbie who does paint corrections and such like, Misery has used him (Ascot area I believe), he did a superb wash and wax on his car L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

This is what I used when I went to town on your car, real bodyshop stuff so not sure how easy it is to get hold of in sunny Wales!

Had it been the next day I'd agree, but the fact it was over a month ago now I can only speculate, and don't want to cause bad feeling It may have been done elsewhere maliciously, it's outside the pub a lot, but the swirl marks kind of give it away in my mind. |

So many times over the last three years ive noticed the dealer wash and clean the car to hide the damage they put in during warranty or service (scratches and swirls).
