Hi,on my 156,i'v got tiny scratches,and im' determined to do a detail myself.Would i use a polish that has filler in it?It's black,so the swirl marks really show up in the sun.Would be great to get some advice ,thanks
The way to remove big scratches is with little scratches, so use a very fine polish, called final detailing polish or swirl remover.
The colored polishes work with color embedded in them, so instead of the white polish drying in a scratch, the polish drys the same color of the paintwork.
I use the colored polish on bumpers, mirrors and door frames, as they don't shine up as good as the fine polish or claybar, but that doesn't matter as much on a car panel.
Sometime in September next year George from Billy Goat Detailing will be running a detailing demonstration, in time for 2014 Spectacolo, keep it in your diary, Colin.
