    So I'm on a minor roll with dealing with pissy things on the OHs car.

    He's got two scratches on his drivers door, not deep enough that you feel a ridge if you run a fingernail through them, and being lazy, I'm wondering if there is anything we can use to even temporarily fill them in, then wax etc once a month if that makes any sense?

    It's an old enough car, and not really worth spending the couple of hundred it would cost to have them fixed professionally.

    Was in Halfords today and saw scratch filler in kits etc, but looking for info on what might be best to use to do this, knowing that it will have to be repeated?

    Or should we just bite the bullet and get it fixed properly?

    Scratches are both about 6-8 inches long and very narrow, maybe 1/4 inch at most.

    Thanks all :)

    Quarter of an inch is a lot for a width of a scratch. Find it difficult to compound it out

    Will ya wait until the morning till the light is good?

    what a way to encourage someone to get into detailing!

    I was thinking of making the Oh's car into the nicest C5 of it's year and I get all this ****?

    Joke lads, joke

    Thanks for the suggestions, will take pics tomorrow they are not that bad, and I reckon there is a middle way with them, and I know he'd be chuffed to bits if they were fixed.
