    Anyone able to advise on how to get a hairline scratch out or buff out lets say.

    Do halfords Ireland provide some sort of scratch removal service?

    The general rule that I have always been told is that if you run your finger nail over the scratch and it catches on the scratch then I don't think it can be simply repaird by buffing it out.

    However I am not in the profession so not really qualified to answer for definate.

    How big/visible is the scratch?
    I think Dublinhitman could probably help you. He knows a fair bit about paintwork/ car bodys check around the forum. I'm sure he'll be lurking somewhere!

    If it is very deep it will be difficult to buff out. You may want to try a scratch repair person/company.


    This guy is pretty good, he used to be Chips Away but is now called Scratch It - Match It
