Slight scratches found on roof my new jazz -any advice please?
« on: October 03, 2009, 04:25:39 PM »
Hi

I have had my Jazz 1.4 ES for two weeks and have discovered some light scratches on the roof  :'(

Just wondering whether I  should speak to the dealer? ( I am convinced they have been ever present and Ive only noticed them when I come to clean it!)

Or get a product of some type to remove the scratches?

Any Advice much appreciated   :)

Thanks In Advance

Ian

Once you left the dealer its gonna be difficult to prove they where there when you picked it up

If there only slight scratches then a good polish should get rid of them

I agree that the dealer probably won't have any interest after two weeks!!

Any good qaulity polishes you would recommend for  a 1st time clean?

Thanks Again

I personally recommend Autoglym super resin polish.

I've been using the Turtle Wax "Extreme Nano" Polishing Wax Paste for the few fine scratches I've seen. It works very well. The tub of paste should last me a very very long time.

SRP will "fill" the scratches and they will still be there, something a little more aggressive could work though. DODO Juice Lime Prime for example or meguiars scrtach x. Ideally with a polisher.

ARe they scratches or "swirls"? any pics?

Use SRP and only try something more aggressive if SRP's not working to your liking. Honda paint is very soft afterall.

Many more aggressive products would require you to apply a more gentle product afterwards to 'finish off' the polishing and restore the shine. SRP would be suitable for this.
