Title: Fine scratch lines at all the 4 door handles area
Post by: alangohek on September 22, 2008, 12:03:23 PM: Hi Bros and Sis

My ride is around 4 months old and there are many fine scratch lines around my door handles.

As I am very careful with my car, am very curious why were the lines there.

Any suggestions how to have these lines removed? The simplier the better, haha.

Post by: Zippy on September 22, 2008, 01:44:40 PM: Hi! i think this happens quite often coz i heard abt this from many people. Just try using wax to polish off. i think most lines around the handle can be removed using wax.

For deep lines u might wanna try a stronger wax like Sonax. Good luck!

Post by: royroy on September 22, 2008, 10:09:19 PM: To effectively remove or cover it, can Get Mothers scratch removal to do e job
Afterwhich, polish it and use a wax to apply over it.

other alternative, get a groomer to get it done.

After few months, scratches will surface again. Is like tat. Then wax over again.

Post by: alangohek on September 22, 2008, 11:05:18 PM: Thanks guys for all your input. So from what I have read, will need a scratch removal like Scratch X then wax.

But I saw some waxing product that claims to be able to remove fine scratches and swirl marks, are they effective in removing scratches of this nature?
