Hi All,

i was hoping if anyone could give me advice on fixing scratches on my reasonably new Honda Jazz VTi-S.

I washed my car yesterday and notice a few key scratches and some dents on the car, and was pretty annoyed since it took me ages to save for the car.

So i was hoping if u can provide me a low cost way in repairing the paintwork.

Thanking you in advance for you input ^_^

take it to a panel beater, if there isnt alot of scratches they should charge you bout $80 for a buff and it will come out good, extra obviously for extra attention to the scratches

Cool thanks mate, so buffing it works well?

yes but depending on the scratches, for the deeper scratches there is a more specializes cut and buff wich removes a small layer and goes deeper but if there just basic swirl marks a good proffesional buff will work well

Cheers mate.

Is there any chance you can bring it around one day and ill be able to let you know whether it can be polished out.

Or post up some pics.

I might be able to organize to get the dings fixed for you if they can be done paint less.

Cheers
Dave

Your looking at $55 per hour.

And if its just small then it usually wont take more than that.
