Lots of little scratches - Cameron UK - 8:th-Jun-2014

So after cleaning my car i've notices loads of short scratches in the paint, probably just normal wear and tear,

I've got a mate who does collision repair and also bodyshop work, is it possible for him just to go round the whole car and 'touch up'????

If so, what kind of price should i be looking at?

Normal mate, they will come out with t-cut or compound. I got a DA so saves a lot of hard work but still takes time.

Bloody good polish will solve it, or DA etc

Learn to do it yourself... you can do it by hand but it's hard work.

I bought a rotary off DW for £40
