    A builder carrying out work at the house got splashes of mortar on my car and when he cleaned he used one of those sponge scourers and its left slight scratches / a dulling of the paint work.

    What product would anyone recommend to repair them?

    Depending upon how deep the scratches are ,if they are not too deep you can use t-cut, or turtle wax's scratch out. You can get them at any motor factors.

    Thanks, the scratches aren't deep - in fact I'd call them scuffs - cant be felt by hand but noticeable to the eye.

    Reviews of t-cut on Halfords aren't great.

    What I want is something that wont have to be re-applied after every time the car is washed - would the turtle wax fall into that category?

    Machine polish would be ideal, but I reckon this stuff is as good as you can get when doing it by hand.

    It contains no fillers so the results won't wash away.

    How deep would a scratch have to be before you go down the filler/ professional route? I've one or two that wouldn't be very visible, but I know they exist and wouldn't mind fixing them.

    The general rule is that if you run your nail across the scratch and the scratch catches your nail, then its too deep to polish out. While you might not be able to get it out, you may be able to take the bad look off it by rounding the edges of the scratch so that it is not as visable.
