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................... Big Cry

I cannot say they did it, but............... Censored

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Big Cry

Have a go with some black T cut and then wax with a good soft cloth, it worked for me on the Disco a couple of days ago which is now almost as good as when I sold you the sport.

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 Thumbs Up BLACK RRS HST 3.6 MY08

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 Sad

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).

To the point i started telling them not to clean it outside..

The problem was always that it takes a few weeks for their quick wash and polish to wash off afterwhich you to see the scratches...by which time its too late. Mike
