so i got some scratches on my 7 and i was just wondering what i can use for it and what you guys like to use for it. cheaper is always better lol. i dont really want to get an entire paint job tho... dont have that kinda money. thanks!

 

meguire's scratchX? try it out. ^_^

 

3M swirl mark remover is the best I have ever used for getting out medium deep layer scratches.

 

If the scratches are down to the primer, you'll have to use touch-up paint. Otherwise, if they're mild, take your car to a professional detailer and have them buff the scratches out.

 

Try some Zymol (yeah i know its sounds like hemmeroid cream or something)

 

I agree with Sweet FC3S. I'm a stickler for good looks, car washing, waxing, etc... let's just say I'm pretty **** about. I have tried all the other waxes out there, from Meguiar's to Zaino's... you know what works? Zymol... just the simple one you can get from any store. The best at easy application, removal, hiding of scratches, swirls, etc... you'll notice it on the second coat. Here are a couple of pics of my car...

 

Holy sex on wheels batman!

im sold lol!

did you get your wheels chromed? or do some FD's come w chrome wheels..?

 

thanks! yes, mine is a Touring edition... and yes, some come with stock chromes... pretty rare from what I hear. Sorry the pics are almost a year old. The latest ones I have are from a crappy camera

Praise to the Zymol gods! oh, for all you waxers out there, be sure to use microfiber cloths... they're actually better than 100% cotton. Apply in straight back and forth motion too (read instructions and on zymol website).

I had another question though... what do you all think about clay bars??? heard some folks say it'll do wonders, and some say it'll wreck the paint... any thoughts? I don't think mine needs it, but you never know...

 

i like using the clay bar. just keep it wet with the spray thats included and you get great results. imo
