Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 - dutton84 - 29:th-May-2016
Misses messing up the car again! Think she's bored of curbing the alloys so decided to scrape past a white Audi A1 when pulling out of a road. Managed to get all the paint transfer off and a few of the lighter scratches. Just left with a few tiny dents and scuffs. This stuff is really good though
The damage

Stage one - washed it down then used scratch 2.0

Stage 2 - had another go the next day to get the remainder off. A lot of elbow grease required.

Ha. To be fair she's a good driver. 1st accident she's ever had that's been her fault (if you don't include the alloy curbing)
Anyone tried getting dents out before? You can see them in this image. Or is it best left to the professionals

I think this is not avaible for deep stratches. because your problem look like only rubbing construction material.
if have deep one; must be painting.

Why are you not claiming off insurance? Surely the A1 is?

Yeah the a1 is claiming off my insurance but if I want my car repaired I have to pay the first £350

The picture above is after the 1st attempt of getting all the paint off. There are no white marks at all anymore, just 2 dents. If I could get them out it wouldn't be to bad.

I watched wheeler dealers the other night and they used to methods to remove dents.
1. was tool that heats the metal and as you run the tool over the dent disappears No repainting needed.
2. was type of puller tool with rubber things comes with a glue which you put on the rubber then stick it to dent then use the puller, the glue is removed with a solvent, again no repainting needed.
Not sure if any of them work work for you though.

I watched that too, thought it was a clever way of doing it.

I used a company called Dent-Technique a few years ago to remove about 6 or 7 small dents from our old Peugeot and all were removed without a trace. Cost me about £75 in all but it was well worth it.
