Have you tried using any of the "scratch removal" luquids available? If so, were the results any good at all?

 

[L13 Cooper]

No ive not tried any, do you recomend any?

I have read somewhere that there is a product called "langka" which can be applied to new or old scratches. I haven't tried it and if someone has, i'd like to hear about it. The product is manufactured in Spokane, Washington State.

http://www.langka.com (I think that is the web site)

scratched bonnet stripe

Picked up my 2005 MCS but noticed two small (1-2 cm long) white scratches on the black bonnet stripe. The dealership agreed to replace the stripes but the process concerns me. They would have to heat up the clear coat on the bonnet, peel it off and then peel off the stripes. I worry that this process could damage the car's actual paint. I do have the Zaino line including a product that is suppose to help with scratches. I love, love, love this car. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

The paint is baked at the factory to quickly cure it so gently heating the stripes should do no harm.

Bonnet

Thanks for the reassurance. An auto-body guy that I trust said the same thing. One person suggested trying a Sharpie to cover it up. I'm sure I'll pursue the professional cure, replacing the stripes.
